Loyiso's sense of humor and material goes broader than one might suspect. In addition to goofy moments, sharp observations and fun poking, there is also a political element to some of his material. We incorporated that with some visual references to current goings-on in protest culture.

All in all this was a super fun shoot and Loyiso and his team were a delight to work with. It's exciting to see someone come from a place where he is very much a known quantity and humbly enter a new realm to establish his voice. I look forward to seeing the U.S. catch up to Loyiso as well.

Look for the images on Loyiso's social accounts and website, Vimeo's promotional activities and properties, and elsewhere. I have included some of my favorite shots below.

Shout out to Gabriella Barkho for assisting, Claire for making the connection, and Trina DasGupta of Single Palm Tree for making it all happen.
