Black is Power: Editorial

The Brief

For Black History Month in the UK, our plan was to create an editorial aiming to explore the history and beauty of African kings and queens through the lens of extraordinary individuals in the creative scene. The aim of the collaboration between Take More Photos and Wingstop is to serve as a powerful homage to the majestic legacy of African monarchs, and highlighting creative individuals through the silhouette of these historical figures.

The Idea

For our second Black History Month collaboration with Wingstop, our idea was to explore the history and beauty of African kings and queens through the lens of 5 extraordinary individuals in the creative scene. We explored prominent figures such as Mansa Musa and visually explored his perceived opulence, Khama and visually exploring the importance of cultural preservation in diplomacy, Nzinga, Queen Makeda, Shaka Zulu and visually exploring his martial prowess and the military innovations of this legendary king.
