The scene is set indoors, within Barakin Akawo, Nigeria, against a seamless white photographic backdrop. A single male individual stands in the center, facing slightly towards the viewer's left. He has short, light-colored hair and wears rimless, rectangular eyeglasses. His attire consists of a dark grey or black long-sleeved jacket with brass-colored buttons, worn over a white collared shirt and a dark tie. He also wears dark trousers and light grey and white athletic shoes. The individual is holding an open newspaper in both hands at chest level, with his gaze directed downwards towards its pages, indicating he is reading. The floor around his feet is covered with numerous scattered pages from various newspapers, displaying text, headlines, and images, including portraits of different individuals. To the far right of the frame, a partial black metal stand and a multi-colored woven basket are visible on the floor. Artificial lighting illuminates the subject, casting a distinct shadow on the white backdrop to the left.
