Reminds me of Malick Sidibe's work
Malick Sidibé
a celebrated Malian photographer. Working primarily in black and white, his photographs captured lively portraits and scenes of celebration.
His best-known works depict the burgeoning pop culture and nightlife of the Malian capital, prolifically documenting young people and their dress in elegantly posed studio portraits with patterned backdrops, which either match or deliberately clash with the sitters’ outfits and poses.
Aubrey Beardsley
