Photographing people of color - In this day and age, it is a question that can be dealt with directly. It is simply a question of photographic technique for photographing subjects with dark skin, rather than a racial issue.
When photographing people with darker skin colors, novice photographers often fail to capture the dramatic highlights darker skin tones offer. The results are usually shadowy silhouettes or faces with little or no detail.

| The photojournalist from whom I first really learned about photography maintained that taking (good) photos of dark-skinned people was one of the most challenging tasks for a photographer. |

If you wanted debate you'd have to write the description in a similar manner to the last one:

Description: Lose the skinny, underfed models. Capture the beauty of a plus size woman. |
Thus,
Challenge: Beautiful Dark People
Description: Lose the pasty faced, under-pigmented models. Capture the beauty of a person of color.

This will prolly get a lot of frowns but I've often wondered how POC models fair verses others in challenge voting/results. Of course there are exceptions, most noteably shots by  goodman, but I wonder in general how POC models stack up. |
