“It is necessary for me, as an image maker and as a black man, to be a guardian of the visual identity of my culture and of those that identify with the same heritage as myself. The world and more specifically the industry needs more authentic voices that represent the narrative of Black people worldwide outside of the toxic, stereotypical and deceitful story that has been repeatedly portrayed. One image can change the paradigm.” Thanks for sharing your photos and your voice with us, @shamayim. We’re proud to have you as part of our #TeamCanon community. ❤️

Ciao, Nihon.
