With ankara fabric draped in a backyard in<br />
Brooklyn, photographer Gregory Prescott<br />
captures images of model, George Okeny. The<br />
author of By Window Light a nd t he upcom i ng Only<br />
HUMAN, Prescott has found his most enduring<br />
source of inspiration in capturing the human<br />
form. In his artist’s statement he writes, “My<br />
photographs have successfully embraced both<br />
the inner and outer beauty of men and women.<br />
GOD is the true artist. I am the channel.” In<br />
this sartorial series, Prescott explores the way<br />
that color, texture, and shape converse in the<br />
interplay of the body with fashion. With Okeny<br />
standing boldly in fall staples, like a leather<br />
coat and deeply-hued bomber, Prescott reveals<br />
to us this Sudanese model’s beauty, strength,<br />
and piercing humanity. AC<br />
