“Black people are often photo-ready. Photo-eager,” Hanif Abdurraqib writes. “We’ve already got fly, we already believe ourselves to be fly: why shouldn’t someone want to take our photo?” In the work of the photographer Andre D. Wagner, the tender intimacy of Black life takes center stage. Some of Wagner’s images show moments of profound, quiet interpersonal intimacy. Others display raucous joy. “We don’t have to be told that we are fly, but it doesn’t hurt to get some confirmation, by way of a camera pointing in our direction,” Abdurraqib continues.
