Stella F. ★★★★★

The print arrived beautifully packaged, and the black-and-white clarity in this 1979 studio shot is unreal—you can practically feel the sweat and energy radiating off James Brown. Allan Tannenbaum really captured that raw charisma, and it’s already the centerpiece of my living room wall.
