Honorable Mention
Afro B Avec Pagnes #1
Zie Otto, United States
Afro B Avec Pagnes #1
DESCRIPTION
"Afro B Avec Pagnes" meaning "Afro B with fabrics" is from a series of images in which Zie Otto photographed musical artist Afro B in modern activewear/sportwear matched with traditional Ivorian fabric and style. Both the subjects and the photographer are decedents from Ivory Coast (Côte D'ivoire) living and working in London and New respectively.
AUTHOR
Ivory Coast Born and NY grown, Zie Otto is a photographer and artist of process. Placing portraiture on a plane equal to the iconic universality of portrait and fashion photography, the works of NYC-based Zie Otto are at once nakedly direct and difficult to see. His pictures tend to foreground aspects of his subjects, so as to give their whole figure a decided air of ambiguity. Oftentimes, like a movie director, he allows his subjects to hide behind a mask of emotional expressivity: a look concealing the subjectivity of the person who actually gives it.
