Photographer James C. Lewis of Noire3000 | N3K Photo Studios was tired of the Media’s White Washing ; so in a series of Photographs,depicted some of the most famous Bible characters as people of African and Middle Eastern Origin.
“I think it is very important to see one’s self in the Scripture so that it may become real in their eyes. The whitewashing of the Bible has always bothered me. However I’m happy to now have the opportunity to give a different point of view.”
The series will be fully released on the 14th November in a three night exhibition.
These are beautiful
I love these so much.
I’m not religious, but something about these feels really… right. Moreso that almost all of the other representations I’ve seen.
I want this entire series on my wall
Way better than some tacky cross with a white Jesus
