A black-and-white close-up portrait of a young Black man with smooth skin and short, cropped hair, looking directly at the camera with an intense yet neutral expression. The lighting is soft and diffused, creating subtle shadows that highlight his strong facial features, including defined cheekbones, a sharp jawline, and a slightly furrowed brow. The subject is wearing a sleeveless, high-neck white top, contrasting with his rich skin tone. The background is clean and minimalistic, a smooth white surface, ensuring the focus remains entirely on his face. The composition has his face slightly off-center, with a shallow depth of field that blurs the edges of his shoulders and background. The mood is timeless, artistic, and contemplative, evoking the feel of classic fashion editorials. The black-and-white tone adds elegance and simplicity, emphasizing texture and structure without distractions. The framing is tight, focusing on facial details, and the angle is straight-on, enhancing the subject’s gaze and emotional depth.
