Description

A striking close-up studio portrait captures a Black adult male with dark eyes and slightly parted lips. He has dreadlocks pulled back from his face. The composition is tightly framed, focusing on the subject's face as he peers directly at the camera. The subject is framed by a white lattice structure that has been broken apart, with details of barbed wire extending from the breaks. The lighting is dramatic, highlighting the textures of the skin and lattice. The photograph is presented in a vertical format.
