Coniese Banton is a Jamaican-American stylist from Queens, NY. She cultivates her work through her passion for introspective storytelling in reference to human's ever-changing juxtaposing identities, by using fashion and beauty photography. Her work could be described as narrative with elements of dark fantasy. Fashion editorials that portray important societal messages through the medium of fashion photography; inspired her to now explore styling as a tool to inspire and move others while simultaneously telling stories that speak for the past, present, and future trends of fashion.
"Fashion pictures were my first bridge to a world that I could only fantasize about, ... it’s not just about the picture itself, it’s about the reaction that those pictures were able to arouse, an instant and powerful message."
-Pierpaolo Piccioli
