This image is a contact sheet showing multiple frames of a young man in various poses and expressions. The photos mostly show his upper body as he stands, sits on a bed, or reclines. His hair is dark and moderately short, and he wears a light-colored shirt. The background appears to be a modestly furnished room, possibly a bedroom. One frame shows him holding an object that might be a cigarette. There are markings around some photos on the contact sheet, highlighted with red grease pencil.
