feature: photographer rezzy r. paints parallels between chlorophyll and melanin in photo series

January 12, 2016

Rezzy R. paints poetic parallel between the pigmentation of plants and black women. The series, “Chlorophyll & Melanin” was inspired by a question Rezzy was asked during an internship interview: “Is shooting black people your thing or do you plan on expanding your portfolio?” “It was at that moment I knew that I would have to create a body of work that showcased black models,” says R.

Take a look at a few images below and find the entire series here.
