Dazzling color, dreamlike backgrounds, and a fierce gaze are the
hallmarks of Ijewere's work. But most important to the London
photographer is subversion of traditional concepts of beauty. In
fashion work, editorials, advertisements, and film stills, Ijewere
draws not only on her roots in Nigeria and Jamaica, but also on her
own experiences as a young Black woman in South East London whose
skin colour, hair, and body type were nowhere to be found in the
pages of magazines. Ijewere's vibrantly coloured, brilliantly
staged pictures often focus on themes of identity and diversity,
and feature nontraditional subjects that celebrate the uniqueness
of disparate cultures. This first monograph includes images from
her series of Jamaicans across different generations; photographs
of young people defying gender norms on the streets of Lagos; along
with editorial work she has created for Vogue, and fashion shoots
for Stella McCartney, Dior, Gap, Hermes, and Valentino. At the
vanguard of a history- changing artistic movement, Ijewere's
remarkable career has made her one of the most sought-after fashion
photographers working today.
