Kenyan Photographer Creates a Striking Adaptation of the Black Panther Concept

Osborne Machara, an award-winning Kenyan photographer has been commissioned by Marvel Studios to create an exclusive artpiece and has been given the creative license to experiment on the  Black Panther concept. This adaptation sees Machara telling an African story with just one shot. 

           Machara has titled the work Ilgelunot. Ilgelunot, in Massai, means 'The Chosen Ones'. This project tells the story of the elders of Massai origin who were  Black Panther's most trusted advisers.

          However, one thing is quite obvious here; the elder in the middle looks like a bride being walked down the isle.
