Atlanta-based CreativeSoul Photo introduced us to an inspiring artistic vision to life which highlights the beauty of girls with natural afro hair.
Regis and Kahran, a husband and wife duo created a series called Afro Art which represents the couple's expertise in capturing portraits and visual storytelling.
The striking pictures feature young girls in unique costuming and hairstyles, from a Baroque-era aesthetic to steampunk clothing and fierce high-fashion ensembles.
The portraits of the girls featured in Afro Art are extremely stylish. The feelings evoked from those pictures speak to the larger idea surrounding them.
As Kahran told My Modern Met in an email:
“We feel that it is so important for kids of color to be able to see positive images that look like them in the media. Unfortunately, the lack of diversity often plays into the stereotypes that they are not ‘good enough’ and often forces kids to have low self-esteem.”
“We hope that viewers will see the beauty and versatility of afro hair and we hope that girls around the world will be inspired to love their unique differences and beauty within.”
Take a look at the gorgeously shot and styled portraits below:
