feature: brazilian photographer bruno gomes celebrates “alternative” beauty standards and female empowerment in editorial series ‘afronte’

February 17, 2016

In his newest editorial, photographer Bruno Gomes turns his lens towards “alternative” style, black beauty, and self-expression of Afro-Brazilian women. Be it elaborate chest tattoos, emerald green lipstick, or bright-colored bodysuits, this series celebrates self-empowerment through self-expression and self-acceptance. “The editorial ‘AFROnte’, aims to explore the beauty and diversity of black women. And above all, empower all women fleeing beauty standards set by society,” Gomes tells AFROPUNK
