Through the shadows the desire can be seen.
The intense want, the attraction abundantly keen.
The eye contact so visible and bright.
The desirability so clearly seen even in the absence of light.
Lips that beckon to be kissed and explored.
An essence to be tasted and adored..
hidden in the shadow but exposed by the backdrop of light,
an encounter that offers connection and delight.

✨ Behold my new Natalie doll—one of my ultimate Holy Grails! ✨ She is the embodiment of regal beauty, grace, and the rich excellence of my beautiful Black community. More than just a doll, she is a QUEEN—always, not just for African-American History Month, but for all time.
Draped in an exquisite custom gown from Jamie Show, she stuns in a breathtaking ensemble that commands attention. The seafoam satin corset with off-the-shoulder puffed sleeves flows seamlessly into a champagne mermaid skirt, sculpted with striped panels that cascade like waves of silk. Her pearl-adorned neckline and delicate gold jewelry only enhance her ethereal glow—because royalty deserves nothing less.
Natalie represents all of us—our beauty, our resilience, our undeniable presence. She is a reflection of the elegance, power, and timeless excellence that defines who we are.

For most of ballet dance history, pink tutus and white pointe shoes were the norm. Before the availability of manufactured brown pointe shoes, black dancers who wanted to match their pointe shoes to their skin tones were obliged to take matters into their own hands. The practice was to paint or "pancake" the shoes with makeup or dyes, a process that was time consuming and expensive, especially since a dancer could go through 2 or 3 pairs of shoes a week. As a black ballerina and in this image, "finding home" appears to have a double meaning.

The Tuskegee Airmen /tʌsˈkiːɡiː/[1] were a group of primarily African American military pilots (fighter and bomber) and airmen who fought in World War II. They formed the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group (Medium) of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). The name also applies to the navigators, bombardiers, mechanics, instructors, crew chiefs, nurses, cooks, and other support personnel. The Tuskegee airmen received praise for their excellent combat record earned while protecting American bombers from enemy fighters. The group was awarded three Distinguished Unit Citations.
All black military pilots who trained in the United States trained at Griel Field, Kennedy Field, Moton Field, Shorter Field, and the Tuskegee Army Air Fields.[2] They were educated at the Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University), located near Tuskegee, Alabama. Of the 922 pilots, five were Haitians from the Haitian Air Force and one pilot was from Trinidad.[3] It also included an airman born in the Dominican Republic and one born in Jamaica.[4][5]
The 99th Pursuit Squadron (later the 99th Fighter Squadron) was the first black flying squadron, and the first to deploy overseas (to North Africa in April 1943, and later to Sicily and other parts of Italy). The 332nd Fighter Group, which originally included the 100th, 301st and 302nd Fighter Squadrons, was the first black flying group. It deployed to Italy in early 1944. Although the 477th Bombardment Group trained with North American B-25 Mitchell bombers, they never served in combat. In June 1944, the 332nd Fighter Group began flying heavy bomber escort missions and, in July 1944, with the addition of the 99th Fighter Squadron, it had four fighter squadrons.
The 99th Fighter Squadron was initially equipped with Curtiss P-40 Warhawk fighter-bomber aircraft. The 332nd Fighter Group and its 100th, 301st and 302nd Fighter Squadrons were equipped for initial combat missions with Bell P-39 Airacobras (March 1944), later with Republic P-47 Thunderbolts (June–July 1944) and finally with the aircraft with which they became most commonly associated, the North American P-51 Mustang (July 1944). When the pilots of the 332nd Fighter Group painted the tails of their P-47s red, the nickname "Red Tails" was coined. The red markings that distinguished the Tuskegee Airmen included red bands on the noses of P-51s as well as a red empennage; the P-51B, C and D Mustangs flew with similar color schemes, with red propeller spinners, yellow wing bands and all-red tail surfaces.
The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American military aviators in the United States Armed Forces. During World War II, black Americans in many U.S. states were still subject to the Jim Crow laws[N 1] and the American military was racially segregated, as was much of the federal government. The Tuskegee Airmen were subjected to discrimination, both within and outside of the army. (Wikipedia)

Katherine Johnson was hired by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in 1953 as a human computer. She started work in the segregated West Computing Unit at the Langley Laboratory in Hampton, VA. Her remarkable skills and dedication led to her involvement in NASA's early human spaceflight program. Her life was highlighted in the book (and movie) "Hidden Figures." In November 2017 she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Obama. She passed away at age 101 on February 24, 2020.

For the subject, it's not always easy being directed every few photos and I'm very conscious of that behind the camera.
However, I was able to communicate well with the subject on this photoshoot through body language, namely by positioning myself in a way they had to shift themselves in response to the change in angle, without having to vocalise my intentions.
Achieving an unspoken mutual understanding of our positioning between shots, the model started to feel comfortable flexing their own stances which made for a freeing photography experience.
