Photographer, James C Lewis of Noire3000 has done a series of photos that depict some of the most famous Bible characters as people of African origins. He showcased his photos through an exhibition called "Icons of the Bible".
He did the photographs using over 80 models who identify as Asian, Native American, Hispanic, African, Middle Eastern, Black American and West Indian.

The photographer who had in 2014 paid homage to African deities through his art exhibition he termed "African Orishas" had this to say about his latest project:
"I think it is very important to see one's self in the scripture so that it may become real in our eyes. The whitewashing of the Bible has always bothered me. However I'm happy to now have the opportunity to give a different point of view. I wish to exhibit a splash of colour onto the biblical pages of history with my creative embellishments. By doing so I hope to open the minds and eyes of the ignorant and create open conversations of how we can learn to see the world through colourful lenses. After all, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is intended for everyone."
