To come back to Beautiful your new book how long it took you to realize it if the woman as usual was your main source of inspiration, in this book what impression of the black woman you want to give to those who will walk through it?
:I was contacted in 2015 by Shokopress, this publishing house based in England and we set to work, we will say it took me 1 year and a half. The impression is simply to appreciate The Beauty that every woman carries in her.
How was your collaboration with your Publisher Shoko Presse was it easy for you to convince them to join the project?
This book is not my idea, the director at Shokopress Tapiwa Matsinde contacted me by e-mail at the end of 2015, and told me about this project, she was following my work and wanted to make a Book of Art about my work. They gave me carte blanche and saw that it was falling right on my 10 years of career as a photographer. I immediately said YES, a great opportunity to celebrate African photography and to pay tribute to the black Woman, my theme of predilection. A great adventure in any case.
Before putting an end to this interview do you have a word towards the audience? Apart from Beautiful released on April 24 is there another meeting you would like to invite the public, signing evening and another project?
For now, no, nothing planned besides the promo of BEAUTIFUL which will be organized by the publishing house Shokopress. I continue to do my work as a photographer and enjoy the present moment. Tomorrow is another day.
Flashmag and its readership thank you for this interview.
