Elias Farajajé-Jones 1993

Nancy Andrews's 1993 black and white photograph, "Elias Farajajé-Jones," is a powerful portrait of a man in a dimly lit interior. The subject, Elias Farajajé-Jones, is seated in a chair, with his long dreadlocks cascading over his shoulders, his hand resting on the chair's back. The low-key lighting creates a sense of mystery and intimacy, while the composition emphasizes the subject's presence and gaze, drawing the viewer into the moment. Andrews's work often explores themes of identity, race, and representation, and "Elias Farajajé-Jones" is a poignant example of her approach to portraiture.
