The Beauty of Black Men with Marquan Nesmith

Editorial Staff
Share

As an artist and black man I look at the fellow black man not based off of what I see on tv, not the negativity others have depicted us, but I have always looked at us as the closest thing to god. Not only in appearance, but in the way I feel when I am in your presence, your power, your orbit, your dominance yet tenderness, the intensity when you look at me and through me, your subtle nervousness, your curiosity, your ambitions, even without gold or money you shine.

Black man I couldn’t exist without you. You are my lifeline, my true legacy. Through my lens, i capture you with the intent of showing the world my vision of you, in the rawest form, fully locked in admiring all the treasures the world have yet to see. Black man I celebrate you, not only when you win, but when you fight, when you hurt, when you’re unsure. I am with you black man, focused and proud to be US
