Black is beautiful

Antonio Correia

Well-known member
I started today a series with only black people under the title "Black is Beautiful"

I hope to be able to make a collection of at least 15 people.
Portraits are to be taken outside anywhere I can using flash eventually. The lens used will be changing according to the circumstances and scenarios and so will the final look.
The portraits will be close or far away depending on the situation/location and so forth. Not too many bonds.
Photographs will be refined using suitable software program(s).

I took this one in the garden. Natural light filtered by trees. An A5 is going to be offered to him. The guy is from Angola.

Superb!

Thank goodness, our grandchildren are set to have no negative impulsive feelings based appn race and gender.

Your pictures help us with our humanity. Good luck with the series!

Thank you Asher.
I hope more will come.
It is going to take time as I do not know many black people and sometimes they are difficult to contact to this series.
I have been refused one already.
Never mind. I will get some people with time...
:)
 
Beautiful portrait António. I hope you are able to get enough people for your series. Love how textural his hair is.. I want to put my hand in and touch it! :) Maggie

Great shot Antonio, good luck with the series.
I'm sure you'll find many willing subjects and deliver at your usual exceptional standard.

Thank you Maggie and Andy for the nice words. :)

Today I saw a young girl who was fantastic for this series... I couldn't talk to her as I was driving.
Next time ! :)
