Melanin Sisters 2023 Swimsuit Shoot.
Here we are again at Melanin Power Magazine’s 2023 third annual Swimsuit Photoshoot. This day was quite challenging for everyone, the weather was a washout, but we made quite a statement at the beach on this day. I had the most beautiful group of ladies and the photographer was able to work with the schedule that the weather allowed us. These beautiful ladies embraced the concept of baring their beautiful bodies for the pages of Melanin Power Magazine, I was even more amazed that Melanin Power got exactly what we asked. Beautiful Sisters from all backgrounds, Pleasantly Plump, Curvaceously Beautiful, Ethnically empowered and did not skip a beat,, they brought it ALL!
The day started at about 10 AM at the beautiful Fort Lauderdale Beach. Florida. New relationships were built that day, The ladies mingled for about 30 minutes while the Photographer Andrew Bowen and I scouted the venue for suitable backgrounds, leaving the ladies to get acquainted with each other. I then confirmed that they brought 2 bathing suits, primarily one black and another of their choice. Our day officially began.
Melanin Power and its Beautiful Melanin Sisters had all eyes on them that day, The rain would not let up, but my Photographer Andrew was able to shoot between the rain and its gaps, Next stop was getting in the water, by then the ladies were familiar with each other and as you can see from above they were having fun in the sun! Everyone had such a good time, My aim is to continuously shoot sisters with personality, and genuine love of themselves. I am not on the prowl looking for Super Models, I want everyday Melanin Sisters that live extraordinary lives., we laughed, we ate and we shot some beautiful photos.
