"Fluorescent Brown"
July 9th, 2021
My work is a constant love affair with brown skin. It is a fluid conversation with tones: the reds, oranges, yellows, purples, and blues that dance below the beiges and browns. It is an investigation into our melanin’s richness and depth. And it is because of this that I’m no analog photography purist—I edit my work, particularly the colors, in whatever way is needed to amplify the divinity and glow of my subject.
