A modeling portrait of Indya Moore, shot by Steven Liang and published alongside Hari Ziyad's interview with Moore in AFROPUNK — the piece that ran ahead of Moore's breakout role in Saturday Church.
In April 2017, AFROPUNK ran a interview with model and actor Indya Moore, conducted by writer Hari Ziyad, timed to Moore's role in Saturday Church ahead of its Tribeca Film Festival premiere. The piece traced Moore's path from modeling into acting, and her thinking on representation, the fashion industry's treatment of trans people of color, and her early career.
The portrait shown here — from a modeling session shot by Steven Liang — ran inline in that piece, credited as "Modeling photo session by Steven Liang."
