Descriere

LEWA - the Yoruba word for "beautiful" - is the culmination of Mr. Austin's five-year photographic journey counterbalancing and navigating the realms of societal prejudices and norms. Containing over 100 exquisitely produced original photographic works, LEWA is as much an oeuvre of extraordinary artistic distinction as it is of social and political commentary. The book includes a foreword by The Tenth Magazine founder Khary Septh and text by writer & linguist Kola Tubosun. | Luke Austin is an Australian photographer based in Los Angeles. His portraiture work focuses on the energy, beauty, and vulnerability associated with male youth. He began exhibiting his portraiture work in 2011, following a successful decade working in fashion photography, and has exhibited in Sydney, New York, Florida, and Los Angeles. | Milos Mestas Editions is dedicated to the publishing of innovative and evocative ideas from artists that challenge the status quo.
