"radically soft photos of black masculinity"

"Radical softness — an internet-birthed aesthetic filled with pastel colors, bare skin, and emotional honesty — has inspired scores of young women to embrace vulnerability this year. Elements of the queer, femme aesthetic have touched almost every sphere of pop culture in 2017. It’s in the verse of poet Rupi Kaur, Solange’s soft-lensed music videos, and the head-to-toe silk outfits infiltrating fashion right now. Oh, and it’s responsible for that never-ending millennial pinktrend. However, for all its popularity, fewer male artists than female artists openly align themselves with the aesthetics of radical softness. So Camila, who typically photographs women in relaxed states of leisure, made it her mission to bring men into the fold."
