AFROFUTURISM: A Visual Series

I was a photographer and assistant director for this shoot as part of a larger Afrofuturism series. "Afrofuturism is a look at the future through the lens of black experiences - a cultural aesthetic, philosophy of science and philosophy of history, exploring the intersection of African diaspora culture with a technological utopia. It is also a genre of speculative fiction that highlights what 'regular' science fiction can't and won't. The parallels between black life and science-fiction storylines are blatant." "This shoot represents my visual take on Afrofuturism. Using people that I see and interact with every day as models, I tried to highlight how accessible Afrofuturism can be if you have the vision. These current photos form part of a visual series."
