"Historically, moroccans have too often been represented from the exotic and sometimes “orientalist” point of view of western photographers. My motivation was to re-visit the portrait practice and show morocco in a way that I consider more natural, though no less objective, through the eyes of a native moroccan. Knowing that my vision cannot be devoid of any form of subjectivity, I wanted to at least maintain a reasonable neutrality in my approach and make aesthetic choices to break away from usual folkloric representations." -Leila Alaoui • • • • 📸In remembrance of ©Leila Alaoui (10 July 1982 – 18 January 2016) . • • • • #TheMoroccans #LeilaAlaoui #Morocco #portraitphotographer #African #artdaily #photooftheday #smile #POTD #beautiful #moroccan #artlovers #instagood #portrait #photographer #beauty #Africa #afrique #photography #instadaily #instamood #tweegram #picoftheday #igers instagramhub #follow #igdaily #bestoftheday #photo #pic #all_shots

It takes someone really brave to be a mother, someone strong to raise a child and someone special to love someone more than herself. • • • • 📸IslandBoiPhotography (Joey Rosado) 👉🏾Model: Millen Megese • • • #islandboiphotography #lifestyle #beautyofawoman #blackisbeautiful #myblackisbeautiful #melanin #africanwoman #darkskin #brownskin #unapologetic #motherlylove #motheranddaughter #lovetheskinyourein #melaninmagic #blackgirlmagic #blackgirlsrock #saturdaymorning #inspiration #motivation #determination #confidence #greatness #strength #strongwomen #fearless #powerful #courageous #africa

Behind every famous and influential person there is a driving force and in many cases this driving force is the unfailing love and support of their mothers. I myself learned from my mother that there is a greatness in all of us, and that all of us are delivered to this world with a mission. • • • • 📸IslandBoiPhotography (Joey Rosado) • • • #islandboiphotography #lifestyle #beautyofawoman #blackisbeautiful #myblackisbeautiful #melanin #africanwoman #darkskin #brownskin #unapologetic #motherlylove #motheranddaughter #lovetheskinyourein #melaninmagic #blackgirlmagic #blackgirlsrock #saturdaymorning #inspiration #motivation #determination #confidence #greatness #strength #strongwomen #fearless #powerful #courageous #africa #melanin

Do what makes your soul shine. Be who you are but aspire to be better. Aspire to be a giver. A giver of love, a giver of strength and where possible be a giver of life. • • • • 📸IslandBoiPhotography (Joey Rosado) • • • #africanwoman #lifestyle #beautyofawoman #blackisbeautiful #myblackisbeautiful #melanin #melaninpoppin #darkskin #brownskin #unapologetic #motherlylove #motheranddaughter #lovetheskinyourein #melaninmagic #blackgirlmagic #blackgirlsrock #empower #inspiration #motivation #determination #confidence #greatness #strength #strongwomen #fearless #powerful #courageous #africa #melanin

Richard Mosse and his collaborators, Trevor Tweeten and Ben Frost, traveled the Democratic Republic of Congo, taking video and photographs of rebel groups with Kodak Aerochrome film. Developed for the military in the 1940s, the infrared film captures greens in shades of pink and red and became popular in the psychedelic culture of the 1960s. • • • • 📸 Photo courtesy of Richard Mosse • • • • _______________________________________________________ #Congo #African #photooftheday #exploretheworld #traveling #travelgram #landscape #wanderlust #travel #kodak #pink #southafrica #beautiful #melanin #Africa #arabic #Inspirational #colorful #unicef #charity #Zimbabwe #beautifuldestinations #streetart #Love #conservation #africaninspired #beauty

Just another Wednesday in Kenya 🐫😊. Diani Beach is a major beach resort on the Indian Ocean coast of Kenya (in eastern Africa). It is located 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of Mombasa, in the nearby Kwale County. The beach is about 10 kilometres (6 mi) long, from the Kongo river to the north and Galu beach to the south (the southern point of reference is an old Baobab tree). It is adjacent to the town of Ukunda, the population of which nears 100,000 inhabitants. A small airstrip is located between the beach area and the Mombasa-Lunga Lunga road. The water remains shallow near shore, with some underwater sandbars near the surface which allow wading with a clear view of the sandy bottom. Inland from the beach, there is extensive vegetation (see photo at right), including numerous palm trees which cover the coastal areas, unlike the dry acacia trees of the mountainous Kenyan Highlands. The Mwachema River flows into the sea at Diani Beach. The general area is known for its coral reefs, black-and-white colobus monkeys, and for the closely located Shimba Hills National Reserve, a wildlife reserve which looks out over the Indian Ocean. Diani Beach has restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, and several shopping centres. Diani Beach is also a popular kitesurfing location.

No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite. . . . . #ethiopia #Art #African #kenya #Angola #photooftheday #smile #reggae #southafrica #Ghana #beautiful #southafrican #happy #Africa #zimbabwe #colorful #tanzania #beautifuldestinations #lovetotravel #Nigeria #namibia #nelsonmandela #Love #botswana #travelgram #smile #travel #everydayafrica #morocco #algeria
