Cannes In Color

A celebration of a resilient community at the forefront of creative self-expression & culture.

I was selected to attend the 2023 Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity as part of the 4th Annual Cohort of the Cannes Can: Diversity Collective’s Ambassadors cohort. The program was created in 2017 due to the continued conversation regarding the lack of diversity in the Advertising/Marketing Industry. The Cannes Can: Diversity Collective has moved beyond concern to creation, by creating the opportunity for previously absent faces of color to be represented at the festival of creativity and beyond.

While on the ground in France, I was so inspired by the Black community of creatives I met and I wanted to capture the way they authentically expressed themselves through vibrant colors, fashion and hair all shot on a disposable camera.
