Is the sidewalk your catwalk? Do people regularly tell you that you strut? If so, submit your photos for a Concrete Curls feature at [email protected]. With the need for social distancing everywhere, there has been a dramatic shift in the way we interact with one another. How has this global pandemic affected your work?
What can photographers do at this time? Well, travel is a major aspect of my work so naturally I feel the effects. But this time has allowed me to revisit my archive and edit unpublished work. I think photographers can also revisit their purpose and mission and make sure that their purpose is still on track.
They can also reach out to previous clients and brands to see how they can move forward post pandemic. A five day trip to Kenya to work on a project with a local organization, Giants of Africa, turned into a two-week vacation that opened Delcy's eyes to the powerful allure of raw cultural stories.
The Maasai are an aboriginal tribe in East Africa that have become significantly compromised by encroaching outside civilization. Their culture, within their fence adorned by acacia thorns, has withstood the test of time. Vibrant yellows and oranges adorning the traditional neck pieces and flowing apparel appear blinding against the darkly colored background.
Among the darkness, however, are the silhouettes of the Maasai people. Neither the blinding brightness nor the barely-there darkness are easily legible. Thus, Delcy has produced a set of images that promote awareness of the existence and beauty of the Maasai people without offering their lifestyles up for sale. For this series, Delcy traveled to the city of Swakopmund, Namibia.
Somehow, the photos seem to be taken from within the water as young boys splash and frolic among the ocean shores. Their skin glistens like black marble, sharply contrasting the youthful and carefree scenes. No matter the Delcy project, pure and raw scenes are transformed by the postproduction recolorations that culminate the history underlying the scene.
Along with his personal travel photography adventures, Delcy runs a creative agency and collective known as Dapper Studios in New York City. The studio is often booked out as a photography space, but it is always full of any and all kinds of artists: poets, filmmakers, stylists, and more. The vision of Dapper Lou and the space of Dapper Studios combines to form a limitless wealth of inspiration. The intimate photos that Delcy produces are the products of love and appreciation for the culture that is being captured.
While initially hesitant, he has started selling prints through the Dapper Lou website.
