Capture the bold, provocative energy of the early 1990s with this original studio photograph by Phillip Huy Nguyen. Titled under the studio's "Not Your Usual Photographer" branding, this piece features a model in a vibrant leopard print top, holding a semi-automatic handgun, with a twenty-dollar bill provocatively tucked away.
This is a rare piece of "urban-chic" decor from the ESP Photography Studio, which was known for its unconventional and stylistically aggressive portraiture during this era. The photograph is mounted on a sleek, black high-gloss lacquered board with a classic gold-trim border, typical of high-end commercial photo giftware from the 1990s.
