Nana Yaw Oduro's vibrant photographs are a study of Black male softness:
, we spoke with Nana about Charles Bukowski, titling photographs like micro-poems and gradually becoming more open-minded on set. I was always with different people, so I was learning subconsciously: picking up traits and seeing how people process boyhood and masculinity. Society tells us we shouldn't behave in some ways, but nobody has the right to dictate how boys should be. I had to bridge these things to reach self-acceptance.The majority is about toughness.
Your photos are so stylized and carefully composed. Can you tell me about this process from behind-the-scenes, what a shoot is like to create these configurations? I don't sit down with a committee to discuss it. I have a vivid image, so I'm not going to be too open-minded on set. This is what I'm going with. This is what I'm shooting. I'm going to shoot what I think. If I want a facial expression that shows anguish or excitement or something, I'm going to go by that.
