Photographer and Entrepreneur Jaylon Smith releases The Land of Milk and Honey, for SCAD alumni Challenge. The objective being to develop a photograph based on SCAD Fash’s “Albert Watson: The Light Behind the Lens’ exhibition.
Jaylon states, “I was immensely inspired by Albert Watson’s portraits of Duckie Thot and Naomi Campbell. By positively photographing women of color, I intended to deprecate the fashion industry’s systems and standards of beauty.”
