Nick Branch Photography
· Photographer
My name is Nick Branch. I came across your profile page and I wanted to know if you would be interested in posing for a personal project that I'm doing called SKIN?
The purpose of the photo study was to examine the role of skin color (i.e., lightness- darkness), as it pertains to racial identity development theory and self-esteem among 100 Black people of various skin colors. The significant role that skin color plays in the lives of Blacks has been debated in the social-science literature for over 60 years. Historical and contemporary literature reveals that the skin color of African Americans has exerted powerful and persistent influences on societal attitudes toward and treatment of Blacks, within both White and Black cultures.
This sitting will consist of your portrait being taken, and then an interview about your experiences and thoughts on the subject matter. A typical session lasts about 30 to 60 minutes depending on the quality of the interview. The portraits will be taken in my home studio located in Norcross, Ga. I'm looking to shoot at your earliest convenience.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO NUDITY INVOLVED! Wardrobe shall consist of either a tube top, tank top, something that you can slip over your shoulders.
If you would like to participate in the project you can take a look at the website www.myskinproject.com to get acquainted with the project.
If you're interested please take a look at the website www.skinproject.com and email me [email protected]
I hope to hear from you soon!
Thanks
