Select Images from PH Blue

Kelvin Mendie, Port Harcourt Nigeria, Photography, 2018

I compiled these images together from a larger project titled: PH Blue which I made on my last trip back home to Port Harcourt, Nigeria in 2018. With these images, I seek to depict the beauty within the various levels of interpersonal relationships within my native community. The love of a father to his daughter, a mother to her son, brother to brother, sister to sister, etc. There needs to be more representation of African lifestyles in western media for there to be an equal understanding of African culture that is deeper than mere stereotypes.
