Uncle Moe’s Piercing set of Eyes.
An Image shot and directed by four old Illyann Sebit Thompson. The bond and affection these two have for each other is a beautiful thing to observe.
When Illyann was a few months old, Uncle Moe was the only person other than her father she would acknowledge being picked up without crying.
Right away I come to understand, she would be the only person he would allow to capture the images you see. So I set up the camera on a tripod with all the correct settings. I sat back and observed the two of them work their magic. Uncle Moe’s Piercing Set of Eyes was one of the select.

WOW BEAUTY TO THE EYES, Donn Thompson capturing natural beauty in these shots.
I was blown away at the first glimpse of this collection. Donn Thompson has done a terrific job in creating this production based on a masterpiece presented by women. These photographs are powerful and eccentric high quality art work that certainly exceeded my expectation. I cannot wait to bear witness to this eclectic collection live in person. 🏆🏆
These are phenomenal! You’ve captured the beautiful brown skin in its natural state while managing to not over sexualize still with so much sex appeal! I love it!
Ohhh Uncle Moe, Uncle Moe this photo spoke to my soul. He reflected the innocence of Illyan as he smiled he reminded me to be still, it will all be fine in the end. Thank you for sharing!!
These heart-stirring and celebratory images of the black feminine form have such dramatic impact and resonance in black and white! Bravo! I look forward to hanging one the portraits in my home.
The dictionary states that black is the “complete absorption of visible light.” Sometimes we need to be reminded of the light from which we come. We ARE the complete embodiment of light, beauty, and wisdom. All that we need and want is within us. Of course outspoken, talented, and creative Donn Thompson would see fit that we not forget the essence of who we REALLY are as Black people. This collection brings me joy as I admire the awesome complexity of my people. Thank you!
Wow!!! 😍😍😍😍 all of the images are beautiful and breathtaking. It’s wonderful your daughter captured a photo of the gentleman.
Donn Thompson your body of work is incredible! The beauty and essence of the female brown bodies in your photographs are masterfully done! Looking forward to witnessing your brilliance in person.

Black is truly beautiful…dope concepts
Very beautiful and stunning is every image! This collection of pictures is uplifting, educationally and mentally encouraging as it boosts the confidence level of black women because it emancipates her from the darkness of not appreciating the awesome tender richness of her smooth flawlessly hued body.
Presenting the pictures of the black woman in this collection celebrates and emphasizes her uniqueness in her hair, the width of her nose and mouth and the unfailing strength of the colour of her skin.
Well done Don!
Donn, You always do amazing work. You are very talented and creative and you definitely have an eye for detail. It is always a pleasure working with you.
Amazing experience I wish I could relive, extremely grateful to have been one of the muses in this beautiful series of this Afro-femme-power-to-the-pussy collection that personifies the very essence of the power a black woman yields in her body& sexuality 🙌🏽

I’m in awe at the show you’ve shot and put together, Donn. This gallery was a beautiful homage to the black woman. What an amazing thing to witness.
Awesome work as usual Donn Thompson! It’s amazing how you get to express your talents through such exhilarating art! Beautiful nude study with great perspective!
A man who loves his mother’s beauty. An eye that fines it in all he sees that come from that source. A man in an ongoing conversation with the life force that produced him. A visually love song.
Amazing work! I Love the appreciation for the Black Woman & her beauty. The range from ethereal to bold and strong in each piece resonates exactly what a black is….
It was an amazing day when I walked into the art gallery and was able to embrace all the art pieces from one individual. The most captivating piece for me was the female anatomy. That did it for me. It inspired me to accept myself more and be comfortable in my skin. Being able to appreciate such art was astonishing. Everything was amazing. Thank you so much.
I couldn’t believe my eyes! each piece in this exhibit was mesmerizing. Donn not only captured the beautiful physical form of these women, but he also managed to capture their essence. Simply BEAUTIFUL.
There is a rhythm to this collection where there is a repetition of captivating melanin in the skin tones and an illustration of the human anatomy putting focus on the beauty of natural human expression. Seeing aesthetics through the eyes of Donn Thompson is always a treat. What a beautiful collection!
Such exquisite photographs. What a honor to see the beauty of a woman captured in such a unique, sensual creative way.
High quality Photographer who embodies sophistication with a unique worldly touch!!!! He is the best!!!
Absolutely amazing!
Donn Thompson is a true creative force. His perfect use of light on Black Skin is breathtaking. The highlight of Symmetry with several of the pieces is extraordinary. I’m definitely looking forward to experiencing more from this Artist.
