The genre
of fantasy photography is enthralling. It allows us to be transported to
another realm one filled with ethereal characters, wonderful costumes, and
magnificent scenery. However, if you've spent any time looking at these strange
paintings you've probably realized that they're mostly made up of white
individuals. Even while they, too are making gorgeous photographs deserving of
acclaim black women are frequently left out of the spotlight.
@btsanima,
a Twitter user, is bringing attention to Black women in fantasy photography.
She asks people to post their favorite fanciful photos of Black women in a viral Twitter
thread saying,
“Even though our presence is small, I will not be deterred. “She then
published the identities of photographers alongside stunning images of Black
women dressed as queens, elves, and posing in the same breathtaking countryside
backdrops as white ladies. One of the genre's main draws is the startling
beauty of the pictures, which can be breathtakingly haunting at times.

Black women
are demeaned in fantastical pictures.
However, as
these amazing photographs indicate this has to change and there has to be a
greater focus on the genre's variety.
