Alexandre Desane

Crepus | Crepus is an on-going series on Black hair of Black people in France. I’ve started this series back in 2019, it is exclusively shot in Black & White film with a Street photography approach.

My name is Alexandre Desane, I was born in France, of Haitian parents, Frizzy hair is obviously part of my everyday life. I chose to shoot outside, within the city to give a good representation of Black hair. I don’t want no studio, no extra lighting. It’s important to me to show Black hair in everyday life on women, men, and children in order to show the beauty and charisma of Black hair.
Crepus is a celebration of the uniqueness of Black hair. www.gachis.vision
