Latrice Phoenix began her relationship with the camera seven years ago. She initially began shooting for herself personally and over time her interest in photography as art developed. “I discovered that photography meant a lot more to me than just capturing memories,” Latrice recounts. “I lost all of my photos from childhood after my guardian (great grandmother) passed away and my family was evicted from our home when I was just 10 years old.” She now understands those
incidents inspired her and continue to inspire her as she captures moments. Latrice uses her photography to challenge her audience and to raise awareness about different issues through her exhibits. For Colored Girls® is her break out inaugural art installment that is meant to challenge our minds about African American bodies in America, their contribution and how they have been portrayed. “I use the nude black body to convey powerful messages and spark the conversation about black people in America, our history, hardships and contributions to the Country,” states Latrice. The series and select pieces of art have been featured in several galleries throughout the city of Pittsburgh. The images along with powerful excerpts are designed to intellectually explore and discuss the many dimensions of black body image.
