Locked Up Naturally: The photobook, the calendar, the documentary project.
Let it be known that I LOVE THE BOOK 'DREADS' and I'm not attempting to redo the brother's and sisters works in no way.
Locked Up Naturally is the inside look at the how's, the why's and the what it takes to start, care for, maintain and live life with locks NOW-A-DAY.This project is for the average person to share their story about how long it took to actually lock, to describing the feeling you had on that day that you were about to cut them off!
It's a testimonial project that focuses on everyday people who adorn locks, had locks or are thinking about locking. The goal of the project is to inform the 'unlocked up' that locks are a process that is NOT the same for everyone, if read by the intrigued, Locked Up Naturally will answer all of the questions that we are subjected to (I.e. "How do you wash your hair?" or "Is my hair too soft to lock?" and one of my favorites..."Can I touch them?" etc.)
Locked Up Naturally will destroy myths and bring truth to those who don't know, from those that do.
Also, I intend on collaborating with lock-titions as well as lock jewelry makers, crotchet hat makers and natural hair care salons to style models locks, arrange salon visits and shoots with themselves and their clients and/or sponser the project by way of buying ads for the 16 month calendar, doing a video plug/"informercial" at their salon and more. So if you know someone that is in these fields please send them my way...I may also be looking for a few photographers from different regions to participate as well, I'll keep you posted on that one...
For those interested, no matter you're located please email me directly @ [email protected]
Thank you in advance.
Stay Twisted,
