#linkinbio // the process The creative process as we all know is an enigmatic box. Each person creates magic in their own way that makes it seem like we all have some innate mojo that keeps us going. That’s how we felt about @obislens process when he shot this image of @arichambers • So this new month, we will like to start our features with one of our fav collaborations! Styled by @myahhasbany , hair by @temithomas_ and MUA @chloechanel__cc
we’re absolutely obsessed with @obislens work. —we had the chance to explore the dallas photographer’s process in this shoot titled “ISI OWU”, which is the traditional african hairstyle of threading. • photo of @arichambers by @obislens for #bhm #obislens • styled by @myahhasbany, hair by @temithomas_, MUA @chloechanel__cc
