Portraits by brilliant Senegalese photographer Omar Victor Diop ✨ "Adama" (2013) | "Sashakara" (2016) Diop's site: www.omarvictor.com/s-proj…. Instagram: www.instagram.com/Omar_Viktor #photography #portrait #african #art #artsky #senegal #westafrica #africa #photographysky #dakar

"Adama" (2013)

A portrait of a Senegalese woman seated, wearing an elegant soft orange/pink pleated gown, wearing a large silver bracelet and holding a small bouquet of red and white flowers in her lap. She looks at the camera while holding her head at slight angle facing the left. Her hair is curly and kinky, stylish and worn down, not quite shoulder length. She wears elegant make-up and vivid red lipstick. Behind her is a pleated wall or curtain of the same color as her gown.

"Sashakara" (2016)

Portrait from waist up of a Senegalese woman standing straight and looking boldly at the camera from a slightly oblique angle. She wears a yellow traditional gown and hat that appear to be traditional Senegalese men's attire; her red bra is partly visible on the left side, as the gown has a deep v-neck cut. She wears bright red lipstick, and behind her is a yellow and purple floral print wallpaper.

Now waiting for the glue to dry, to apply gold leaf. 😴😴😴 These are cape starlings. So iridescent! So shiny! And just as noisy as starlings everywhere. #gilding #goldleaf #sciart #starling #birdart #illustration #african #natureart #artist #wildlifeart #Miwas #limitededitionprints
