Lensed: Zedekiah by Urban Shotz

A little eye candy to jump start the day via London based Urban Shotz Photography. As a fan of the U.K., the amazing work of Urban Shotz and featured model Zedekiah is doing absolutely nothing to curb my infatuation with my brothers across the pond.

Urban Shotz Photography definitely has a special gift for capturing the beauty in men of color. London based blogger ka-os theory recently asked Urban Shotz about the prejudice facing models of color and specifically the shortage of black male models in the industry:

"When I was starting out I was encouraged by an agency to work with white women rather than black men if I wanted to become successful. On the rare occasions a black man is used in an advertising campaign, he often has to conform to a non-threatening 'Gap advert' stereotype."
