i-D featured photographer Camila Falquez's 'radically soft photos of black masculinity' in December 2017. The Brooklyn-based photographer convinced her model, LZ Granderson, that posing in pink tulle would not hurt his career. I said, ‘Listen, trust me. You want to be seen as a man ready to change the stories told about men,’” Camila recalls. Camila first met LZ, an aspiring politician, when she was taking photos at this year’s Afropunk Festival and fell in love with his aura. “He was so gracious, honest, and giving in the way he posed.”
