Stylized portraits and selfies from Kaduna, Nigeria

A full-body, low-angle, black and white photograph shows a young Black male standing indoors, holding a large, black, intricately folded umbrella open in front of himself. He is wearing a dark fedora hat, a collared shirt under a dark jacket, and dark trousers. His face is turned towards the camera, and he is looking directly at the viewer. The umbrella is positioned centrally in the frame, its spokes creating a starburst pattern. The background consists of a textured white wall and a tiled floor. The lighting is stark, casting shadows that emphasize the textures of the wall and the folds of the umbrella. The scene appears to be an interior space, possibly a hallway or a room with minimal furnishings, located in Sabon Tasha, Nigeria.

A man is pictured from the chest up, facing the camera directly, with a red background that appears to be fabric. He has dark skin, short dark hair, and a short beard. He is wearing a dark purplish-brown t-shirt. On his head, resting on top of his hair, are a pair of pink-tinted sunglasses with gold frames. He is wearing a wristwatch on his left wrist. The watch has a gold-colored band and bezel, and the watch face is blue with intricate white detailing. His left arm is bent, with his hand resting on his chest. The lighting suggests an outdoor environment, possibly during the day. The man has a slight smile, and there appears to be a mole on his cheek, just below his left eye. The red fabric background has a textured appearance, possibly from being stretched or folded. No specific landmarks are visible to confirm the location in Narayi, Nigeria, other than the general impression of a bright, outdoor setting.

A low-angle, black and white, full-body shot captures a person wearing a hat and a suit jacket, with their right index finger extended towards the camera. The person's face is obscured by shadow, with only a hint of their chin and nose visible. They are standing near a window, which lets in natural light, and the background appears to be a ceiling with a grid pattern. The person's right hand is in sharp focus, with the finger pointing directly at the viewer. The left hand is shown touching the brim of the hat. The overall impression is dramatic and confrontational. This image is located in Sabon Tasha, Nigeria.
