HOT SHOTS: See 13 Internationally VIRAL Headwrap Shoots All By One Legendary Nigerian Photographer

When it comes to headshots and putting African beauty on blast, no one takes the cake more than our favorite, Prince Meyson, a legendary beauty Nigerian photographer. He is responsible for much of the viral black headshot images circulating the web and we have always been most intrigued by his work.

 

Recently we noticed he has also been adamant behind a lot of the viral headwrap images that we have all falling in love with over the years not really knowing where it was served from. So today we decided to put not just a collage of images, but the various headwrap series together to put his work on blast (not that it isn’t on blast already). Some of which you will definitely recognize.

See the images below straight from his instagram feed and swipe left for more.

I might search but never find a woman like you, its not everyday you find a woman with such vigor and power, a woman with raw passion and a heart of gold. A woman with such beautiful complexion yet soo simple. A woman so close to perfection with her mind so nimble. _________________ Model – @daberechi_ MUA – @iamdodos I had alot on my mind during this shoot and totally forgot my camera was set to "Small Raw". If you are a photographer you'll understand how hurtful that is. So today's lesson is always check your camera settings very well before every photoshoot. This can happen to anybody. _____________________ #princemeysonphotography #blackisbeautiful #melanin #blackwoman #motivation #courage #strongwoman #brownskin #melaninpoppin #portrait #jideofstola #naturalhairdaily #melaninqueen #selflove #africanqueen #melaninonfleek

Nobody can love you as much as you do. So love yourself, tell yourself how great you are, tell yourself that your are beautiful because nobody will find value in you if you do not value yourself. @dupr33m for @bethmodelafrica MUA – @ts.touch Shot with a Canon 5D mark III and a Canon 70-200mm.
