AFRO ART IS A SERIES OF STUNNING PORTRAITS THAT MIXES<br />
THE STRIKING BEAUTY OF NATURAL HAIR WITH ELABORATE<br />
CLOTHING, INSPIRED BY THE BAROQUE PERIOD.<br />
We are all full of natural beauty, we just need to bring it out. Regis and Kahran, a husband and<br />
wife team behind "Creative Soul" did just that, only for young black ladies. Focusing on their<br />
hair, the duo created Afro Art, a series of gorgeous portraits that has cast a spell on everyone?s<br />
eyes.<br />
The stunning photos feature girls in elaborate costuming and hairstyles, from the Baroque<br />
period (roughly, 1600-1750) to steam punk clothing and fierce high-fashion ensembles. ?We<br />
feel that it is so important for <strong>kids</strong> of color to be able to see positive images that look like them<br />
in the media,? Kahran told My Modern Met. ?Unfortunately the lack of diversity often plays into<br />
the stereotypes that they are not ?good enough?and often forces <strong>kids</strong> to have low self-esteem.?<br />
?We hope that viewers will see the beauty and versatility of afro hair and we hope that girls<br />
around the world will be inspired to love their unique differences and beauty within.? They<br />
have worked on the series in various states in the US, and even though the preparation was<br />
meticulous, the duo managed to maintain a level of spontaneity.
