Man 
Kwame Brathwaite was like a true OG 
of photography, you know? He brought this unique perspective on beauty that still inspires artists today 
. I mean, who else would have captured the essence of jazz legends like Miles Davis and John Coltrane in their prime? 
His work with Grandassa Models was so ahead of its time, pushing back against those whitewashed standards and celebrating Black women's beauty 
. And let's not forget his travels to Africa, photographing music legends like the Jackson Five 
. He left behind a legacy that's still making waves today, and we're gonna miss him for that 
. His photos are more than just pics – they're pieces of history, community, and celebration

And let's not forget his travels to Africa, photographing music legends like the Jackson Five . He left behind a legacy that's still making waves today, and we're gonna miss him for that . His photos are more than just pics – they're pieces of history, community, and celebration .
. His work didn't just capture images, it challenged societal norms and sparked conversations about what it means to be beautiful 
. It's crazy to think that his photography of young Black women in the 60s helped shift beauty standards away from whitewashed ideals 
. His passion and creativity are an inspiration to anyone who's ever felt like they don't quite fit the mold 
.
. He may have passed away, but his impact will continue to be felt for generations to come 
.
it's such a loss to the art world. His work was truly inspiring, especially during a time when beauty standards were so narrow-minded 
. I mean, who wouldn't want to see more Black women celebrated on camera? 
his grandassa models series is still giving me life today 
and the way he captured the energy of those jazz legends performing... wow 
i wish i could see some of his pics up close they look so beautiful my grandma used to take pictures with her old film camera and we'd always wait around for like 20 mins till the film ran out lol what was it like taking pictures without a timer or anything?
