When Enioluwa Adeoluwa decided to update his official portraits for school, a standard passport photo was never going to be on the cards. The creator dropped a fresh set of studio shots that hit that sweet spot between academic polish and high-fashion tailoring, giving men everywhere a proper guide on how to show up for the camera.
Sharing the photos, he summed it up simply: “Took some new headshots for my school, since the Afro is here to stay.”
His choice to keep his natural Afro front and centre is a huge win for anyone wondering if natural hair works for formal portraits. An Afro gives a headshot immediate presence, framing the face with incredible structure. The secret to making it work lies in the shaping and preparation. Keeping the hair rounded and symmetrical keeps the focus right on your features. Hydrating the hair with a light leave-in moisturiser ensures it looks healthy under studio lights, while a clean goatee and sharp line-up keep the overall appearance balanced and neat.
