- Description:
- Full length portrait of a smiling Black man wearing a motorcycle helmet, big, light sunglasses, a light-colored jacket zipped all the way up, and dark slacks, with a camera bag and kit bag hanging from his shoulders, holding a flash next to his chest in his right hand. He is looking into the camera and smiling and has one foot in front of the other as though he's about to take a step forward. He is in front of a polka dot background, and on a checked floor, but the framing is wide enough that you see beyond the edges of this studio backdrop to reveal a lighter floor, a bigger dark curtain, white walls, and a folding chair beyond their bounds.
