I came across Mambu Bayoh\u2019s work in late 2010, drawn to the vibrant softness and hidden strength of the women captured by his camera. Bayoh is a Sierra Leone\/Liberian photographer who came to the United States at a young age, escaping the Liberian civil war. Attracted to the art of photography, Bayoh stopped his pursuit in Law and dedicated his time to his now current passion. His work not only crosses over from high fashion to street fashion, but into social documentation as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

To view more of his images, view his\u00a0Tumblr<\/a>,\u00a0Instagram<\/a>,\u00a0and official\u00a0website.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy work is journalistic; I capture life as I know or see it. It is also laboring; it\u2019s born out of love passion and inner struggle.\u00a0I love to capture people. The collective strength of humans is beyond amazing and the determination of an individual is prolific. I\u2019ve been blessed to be on earth for a little amount of its history but I just want to document what I see and hear. To show the human strength, defeat, determination, culture, and resilience.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Needless to say, Mambu Bayoh\u2019s work is a visual feast and his\u00a0continuous\u00a0output of new images assures us that there will always be more to enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n
