A perfect skin, very marked features, measures that have nothing to envy to any top model like the ones we see on the catwalks … Shudu has everything to succeed as a model, but she has something different. Shudu does not exist.
On her Instagram profile, with more than 75,000 followers, Shudu describes herself as the first virtual model. And it is not flesh and blood, it was created a year ago by photographer Cameron James Wilson when he began to experiment with 3D design. See the result!
"[To create it [I was inspired by the Barbie Princess of South Africa, but the images I make are inspired by Duckie Thot, Alek Wek, Grace Bol, Naomi Campbell, Grace Jones and Maria Borges, Ajak Deng and many other very beautiful models", explains the creator of Shudu to People in Spanish.
Shudu was practically unknown until a few weeks ago, when Wilson uploaded to Instagram a photo of his model wearing an orange lip color from Fenty Beauty, Rihanna's makeup line, and they shared it on their own account getting more than 200,000 likes and Endless comments for and against the virtual model.

“In the future I hope to produce more art, with real models that pose with Shudu. I hope that she manages to draw attention to the low representation of black people in all artistic platforms and not just photography, concludes the artist.
And to you, what do you think of the first virtual model?
