Photographer James C. Lewis of Noire3000 | N3K Photo Studios was tired of the Media’s White Washing ; so in a series of Photographs,depicted some of the most famous Bible characters as people of African and Middle Eastern Origin.
“I think it is very important to see one’s self in the Scripture so that it may become real in their eyes. The whitewashing of the Bible has always bothered me. However I’m happy to now have the opportunity to give a different point of view.”
The series will be fully released on the 14th November in a three night exhibition.
These are beautiful
I love these so much.
Wow, so beautiful.
Reblogging for Bathsheba specifically, because at least one painting of her bath not only depicts her as white, but puts her directly next to a black woman for contrast: http://www.ago.net/luca-giordano-the-toilet-of-bathsheba
