Omar Victor Diop
"Stunning and vibrant, the studio portrait photography of Omar Victor Diop is breathtakingly brilliant." -- Amateur Photographer
Since 2012, Dakar-born Omar Victor Diop has been hailed by the art world for his stunning, color-saturated studio photography. His conceptual projects are primarily staged as beautifully costumed portraits and self-portraits, and focus on important historical figures and events from Black history and the African diaspora. In the three projects presented in this book, Diaspora (2014), Liberty (2017) and Allegory (2021), he revisits Black African history in poignant photographs that weave together the past and the present. Text in English and French.

Praise for this book
One could also say that the richness which Omar Victor Diop, through his sources of inspiration, injects into his work transforms his cultural borrowings into a true personal treasure. His inimitable style, a fusion of fantasy and storytelling, is recognizable as much for its bold colors as it is for the natural way it brings design and a certain idea of fashion into his art. Omar Victor Diop does not force himself to be modern or pop: he just is, and this contemporaneity is such a strong asset that it attracts the public and collectors.-- "BLIND Magazine"
