Kahran and Regis Bethencourt are the imaginative forces behind Creative Soul Photography. They gained global recognition with their AfroArt series. Their work has been featured on BBC News, CNN, CBS National News, Teen Vogue, Glamour Brazil, and BET, among others.

"The talented husband and wife duo, Kahran and Regis Bethencourt behind this stunning image Sophisticated Soul, is on a mission to capture and celebrate the beauty, culture, and heritage of children from the African diaspora. This extraordinary image imbues dignity and is reminiscent of classical dutch masters portraits. The gaze of the sitter is mesmerizing and empowering. Its regal beauty is recognition and a celebration of a royal, majestic, noble, and proud past." - Arnika Dawkins
