Boy in Print Shirt 1978

"Boy in Print Shirt" is a 1978 black and white photograph by Roy DeCarava. It depicts a young man, seen from behind, standing in a dimly lit urban environment. The subject’s shirt is the focal point, with its patterned design rendered in stark contrast against the dark background, hinting at the complexities of urban life. DeCarava's work is known for its evocative portrayal of African American life, and this image is a compelling example of his signature style.
