Friday Feature: Mario Epanya Productions
His images are his own. Like a painter, he paints his canvas with light. Mario Epanya hails from Cameroon but resides in France. His work is an assorted treat of editorials, nudes, portraits and high-fashion images. The first captivating images I saw by Mario were a feature for African Vogue. These vivid images showcased a world of possibility. They pleaded for a nation that should be allowed the prospect of beauty not pain. Mario Epanya continues to show a passion and dedication towards a global vision of diverse images of fashion. We only wish Mario Epanya a success in transforming basic representation of color into a colorful candy-cane of possibilities. Find his work here.
