With glamourous Lupita Nyong’o dominating the Hollywood spotlight, I was reminded of the work of Senegalese fine art and fashion photographer, Omar Victor Diop. Specifically, his collaboration with Antoine Tempé – ‘ONOMOllywood’ – where the two revisit several Holllywood classics, giving them an African twist.
Check out more examples and read an interview with Diop (including a couple of video clips) on CNN.
