Untitled 1992

"Untitled" (1992) by Thomas Roma is a black and white photograph depicting a young African-American boy in a formal shirt and pants standing with his arms outstretched, seemingly being guided by an adult. Roma is known for his poignant and intimate street photography, often capturing everyday moments in the lives of ordinary people, particularly within African American communities. This image, with its strong sense of composition and focused attention on the boy's posture and expression, exemplifies Roma's ability to convey raw emotion and vulnerability through simple, yet evocative imagery.
