The 'Do you have an Afro?' exhibition in London showed styles that marked the evolution of the afro
The idea for the exhibition came from Errol, a London based portrait, music and fashion photographer. 'I placed an ad on the internet, inviting people with afros to stand in front of my camera,' explains Errol. 'The selection of images displays character and style.'
Over 30 people who responded to the advertisement had photographs of their afros taken. In regards to what influenced the shots, Errol says: 'I was really influenced by an early Eighties American soul/funk band called the Ohio Players. They had the most amazing afros and album covers which are now iconic. I've always been interested in people that do things with passion, dedication and those who are not afraid of sometimes running against the flow.'
