Pic Of The Week: Cameroon Obosso

This week’s Pic of the Week features a striking image captured by Gerysann Photography. The creative concept was developed by SLAY CMR, a beauty brand known for its makeup and beauty products.

The simplicity of the portrait is what makes it stand out. Combined with the bold use of the Cameroonian flag, the image creates a powerful visual that celebrates national pride through beauty and fashion.

Interestingly, the photo was shared on SLAY CMR’s Instagram page on September 30. Whether that timing was intentional or simply coincidental, it added another layer of meaning to the image.

Using national flags as part of fashion and beauty photography has become an increasingly popular form of creative expression across Africa. From face paint and makeup to clothing and accessories, photographers, designers, and models continue to find new ways to celebrate their heritage through visual storytelling.

What do you think about incorporating national flags into fashion and beauty photo shoots? Does it create a stronger connection to culture and identity, or do you prefer more subtle expressions of national pride?
