Gallery Exhibition
From AbigailEkuePhotography.com:

"Abigail Ekue Photography presents the first exhibit of her fine art portrait series Black in Black and White. The ongoing series features Black creatives and visionaries in dynamic black and white portraits. What started out as a personal project intended for Instagram during Black History Month has grown into this first large-scale exhibit of 48 portraits featuring Black artists, artisans and creatives from various disciplines ranging from music, film, publishing as well as fellow photographers. The people featured are all active in their chosen creative fields; fields plural due to multidimensions and varied interests which lead to multi-hyphenate thriving artists.

B&W photography is a timeless medium to display the array of Blackness that exists in the diaspora. The tactile quality of B&W photography also makes it a great medium to display the richness and beauty of the subjects' features. The white background creates a high contrast to the subject. Everything is stripped away and we're left with the subject and their story."
