Inclusivity and comfort for all.

When you google search phrases relating to the fashion styles of this shoot’s concept, for example, “leather fetish fashion shoot” all you see are white models. The same goes for the porn industry as well.

My focus is to express that Black models, period, are capable, able, and are just as sexy to model in this fashion aside from white people––in ways where we are in control of our sexuality and likeness; not fetishized for fantasy.
