STORIES was a year-long story-telling journey that celebrates the lives of Black men and women in their truest and most authentic form. Each segment of the book, labeled a CHAPTER, as an ode to the synopsis of each person’s story. There are 26 editorial shoots across a 447 paged hardcover book. What you see above is a peak into one of my favorite Chapters in STORIES, Chapter Saphir. Saphir Niakadie was highlighted for her personal story of growth and triumph.
She is an internationally published Ivorian Photographer based in Brooklyn and Cote d'Ivoire, in her story we get a chance to witness a metamorphosis, and the deliberate use of Tulle and Tulips were a combination formulated to inspire thoughts of ascension and the passage of wisdom.
