Uhura

When I did my Uhura shoot, it was the first time I was doing a parody/artistic expression with characters played by real actors. This is an homage to Nichelle Nichols, not only as an role-model to black women but also some of the men. 

In a series built on social issues and controversy I wanted to have the same impact with this shoot as the "Mirror, Mirror" episode was in television which was the first broadcasted interracial kiss. 

In this mirror of "Mirror, Mirror" I wanted to have the same impact with 2 of the main characters sharing a kiss with Uhura sharing the gossip on her communicator.
