William Arcand, Photographer, New York

About

This vertical portrait photograph by William Arcand features a young Black man seated in a relaxed posture against a textured, crinkled metallic copper and blue background. He wears a short-sleeve acid-wash blue denim t-shirt layered over a black long-sleeve undershirt, paired with matching dark denim jeans and chunky patterned sneakers with red laces. A dark chain necklace rests on his neck. The lighting is direct and creates subtle highlights on his skin and clothing, emphasizing the grainy texture of the film-like aesthetic and the crinkled background material.
