A black and white close-up image depicts an individual in Bukuru, Nigeria

A black and white close-up image depicts an individual in Bukuru, Nigeria. The subject, an adult male with dark skin, occupies the central frame, looking directly at the viewer. He wears a light-colored, patterned beanie on his head and a dark t-shirt with a banded collar featuring two thin stripes (one white, one dark). A large, elongated, flat object, possibly a piece of prepared food like dried fish or plantain, with a mottled, textured surface, is held vertically in front of his face, obscuring the left side from the viewer's perspective. Only his right eye, nose, and mouth (from the viewer's perspective) are fully visible. The background is out-of-focus, showing blurred foliage or tree branches in the upper portion and a faint, indistinct structure resembling a building or wall in the lower right, suggesting an outdoor setting.
