Kortez wanted to style young Ghanaian surfers with vibrant hairstyles and accessories against the backdrop of Busua Beach, aiming to showcase their creative spirit.
Kortez emphasizes the role of vibrant hairstyles in complementing the extravagant surf vibe he envisioned for the shoot, collaborating with hair artist Afro Ele.
Coming from Italy but shaped by South Africa, Kortez sees his documentary as an opportunity to challenge stereotypes surrounding African men and their connection to surfing.
The creative process for Kortez was not just about visuals; it was about cultural representation and challenging perceptions through art and storytelling.
