I am a visual person who finds the images before the theme or concept. I have collected thousands of tearsheets over the years and as the Complexd team were about to publish our  blog post today I spotted an image which I remember filing  7 years ago. The image is a photograph of Complexd Woman: Isamar Gonzalez, It was the cardboard case for a CD that came free with a newspaper. I adored that image, it was the model’s blossoming afro adorned with flowers and her expression of peace and tranquility that has stayed in my visual psyche for some time. Now I am able to put a name to the face, I wonder, who would have thought that years later I would be featuring that same model as a Complexd Woman. It’s such a small visual world!
