Yannis Davy Guibinga’s adeptness at visual storytelling has drawn the attention of brands. He collaborated with Apple in 2019 and Nikon on the campaign for their Z50 camera in 2020
in his home. He liked the glamorous photographs so much that he secretly cut them out and stashed them away. He was a keen reader of comics and illustrated books at the time and felt that the pictures in his mother’s magazine told stories, too. “That got me into trouble,” Mr Guibinga says. “But I had never seen photography like that—their escapism spoke to me.
Mr Guibinga moved from Gabon to Canada in 2013 to study at the University of Toronto Mississauga. There, he adopted a similarly low-key approach. He and his mates would meet up and pose for each other, using brightly painted walls as backdrops and experimenting with lighting . “The combined effect made it look like we had shot in a studio. That’s what my time in Toronto showed me: what could come out of creating spontaneously with like-minded people.
This experimentation and unorthodox creative approach has produced striking results. In the series “The Darkest Colour” and “The Grief” , Mr Guibinga artfully illuminates dark skin tones—something many Western photographers have historically failed to do, as a result of using exposures better suited to white subjects. Seeking to reinterpret the colour’s association with death and sorrow, these photos feature a young black man and woman in matte black body paint, posing with dynamism and drama.
