About

This black and white portrait features a young black boy posing against a plain background, captured by photographer Zoe Adlersberg. He wears a light-coloured collared shirt with subtle vertical stripes and a mandarin collar. His hair is styled with shaved sides and textured curls on top. The composition uses soft studio lighting that creates gentle tonal gradations across his face and attire. The overall mood is direct and intimate, focusing purely on the subject.
