Andres Cordoba

Andres Cordoba, a Colombian-Peruvian man with shoulder-length wavy, black hair stands in a blue-collared shirt with his hands clasped in front of him. Looking towards the sun, his eyes are closed and he is smiling. The photo is from a lower-angle and behind him is a slightly-clouded blue sky. In the foreground, covering his lower-half, there is foliage.
