Description on Black power

“Black Power” is a striking photograph that captures the essence of the revolutionary movement from the 1960s and 1970s. Featuring a sitter surrounded by traditional African props, the image is illuminated with a backlight creating a halo effect and a main light from an octa box for soft, even illumination. The pose and expression of the sitter exude strength and resilience, celebrating African heritage and the enduring legacy of the Black Power movement. This photograph invites reflection on cultural pride and the ongoing fight for equality and empowerment.
