Taraji has no imagination of how beautiful she looks without wigs and heavy paintwork on her face like priceless Picasso Masterpiece, until Bruce Weber gave her the impression of how beautiful and natural she looks without her identity wigs or hair attachment. This is what she said on how came about the CR Fashion Photo Shoots: I wear wigs a lot, especially for photo shoots. I have this girl Kendra who braids my hair.
She braids so intricately, so beautifully. So I’m trying on the clothes and the silk scarf I have on my head slips off, and I say, “Hey, look at my cornrows, aren’t they beautiful?” Bruce Weber is standing there and he goes, “We’ll shoot that.” And I go,“What? We’ll shoot what?” And he says, “We’ll shoot your hair just like that, it’s beautiful.” And part of me was like, No, no, no, NO! This is the hair no one is supposed to see. This is like behind-closed-doors hair. I feel naked. I feel like a plucked chicken...or a wet one. A baby chicken! But Bruce says to me, “It’s not about the hair, it’s your face.” So I just decided to trust the artist’s vision. As an actress that’s what we do. We are vulnerable every time we put our art out there. Underneath that hair is my soul, and it’s me, it’s mine.
