Erez Sabag's new book "Gorgiality" explores — and ultimately celebrates — like-minded artists working to expand the idea of what are classic beauty norms, to explode those definitions. Each photo shoot was a unique, liberating and exhilarating experience, a collaborative process between photographer Erez Sabag, art director David Warren, makeup artist Georgina Billington, stylist Edda Gudmundsdottir, and most importantly, the subject. Models were asked to strip away their pre-existing ideas of beauty, to give their input on what felt comfortable and right. With every image, clichés and stereotypes were challenged.

The story of African American speech follows the unique circumstances of the descendants of American slaves and their incredible impact on American language and life.
