Carell Augustus

Hollywood's Greatest Films Reimagined--Boldly, Beautifully, and Unapologetically Black

Black Hollywood: Reimagining Iconic Movie Moments invites you to rediscover cinema's most legendary scenes through stunning new recreations--starring over sixty-five of today's most dynamic Black entertainers, including Vanessa L. Williams, Dulé Hill, Karamo Brown, and Shemar Moore.

Visionary photographer Carell Augustus delivers an acclaimed coffee table book that is both a dazzling celebration of art and a powerful statement on representation. It transforms classics like The Matrix, Cleopatra, and Breakfast at Tiffany's into unforgettable works of cultural pride.

Hailed as "a genius" by Karamo Brown, Augustus writes: "Black Hollywood is not just a book for Black people--it's a book for all people about Black people. About the dreams we were never told we could achieve. About the places we were never told we could go. And now, finally, about how we can get there."

Featuring a foreword by Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker and an afterword by beloved entertainer Niecy Nash, Black Hollywood is perfect for art lovers, film fans, and anyone passionate about storytelling and representation.
