Paris-based photographer and graphic artist Delphine Diallo’s Magic Photo Studio. There’s so much exciting work out there! Reminds me of the late Christian Walker’s work. He was brilliant and underrated. I could only find one of his images online, but it was nothing like this work.

The lovely Adrienne sent me this…definitely worth a look.
