Dana Washington
Dana Washington is a portrait photographer based in Los Angeles. A majority of her portraits are centered around people of color. Washington seems to make use of natural light is a lot of her photos and from they way her photos looks, she enjoys using windows or just making photos outside.
Washington tries to celebrate and portray different skin tones in her projects, one of them being named Awa awo, which is solely dedicated to "celebrating men and women of color." She uses light in a very specific way to portray different skin tones and people.
Dana Washington is really young (still probably older than me) so it's interesting to see how she uses her skills to make pictures. She plays a lot with light by creating shadows across people's faces. I usually am not a huge fan of that technique, but I see how it can work in some photos.
