Mickalene Thomas's Sensual Portrayal of the Male Body for Another Man
Briefly

"My muses have always been women, but in this series I really wanted to portray the beauty and vulnerability of masculinity. I hope this opens a door for me and shows that I can also work with the male body."
"For me, it was really empowering to be in that space and watch them be, however they hold their space and navigate their world. The models brought that to the table unapologetically."
"I immersed myself in understanding the Black male body for this shoot. I created a Pinterest board and studied various images, lighting techniques and the way Black men sit - their gait and their posture."
"The shoot was a very collaborative process, with everyone putting their expertise and creativity into the project."
