Armstrong Too, a Kenyan photographer and director of photography, is breaking boundaries with his latest project. Instead of picking up a traditional camera, Too has turned to artificial intelligence to create a series of “exquisite AI-generated fashion portraits of black seniors”. This innovative approach celebrates the beauty and style of older black individuals, a demographic often overlooked in the fashion world and media at large.
Too’s portraits are anything but ordinary. The AI technology allows him to envision and bring to life fantastical looks, from regal capes and flowing gowns to vibrantly colored headwraps and futuristic accessories. Each portrait is a testament to the vibrancy and confidence that transcends age. By showcasing black seniors in such bold and creative attire, Too challenges stereotypes and highlights the multifaceted beauty of aging.
