feature: atlanta photographer kareem quow proves tattoos and body mods belong in beauty editorial with ‘citrus queen’

We’re really digging Atlanta photographer Kareem Quow’s ‘Citrus Queen’ editorial where he juxtaposes alleged non-traditional ideas of femininity (i.e. heavily tattooed women) with mainstream editorial beauty. He pairs this picture of femme with a naturalistic setting and imagery with allusions to citrus fruit (delicious) and melanin rich models (perfection). See more of the series below.
