Celebrity photographer Derek Blanks shot Nicki Minaj’s “larger than life” personality for the December/January cover of Ebony Magazine.
The cover is reminiscent of actress Tasha Smith’s shoot, where Derek recreated the “Attack of the 50 foot Woman,” but this time instead of Atlanta being the backdrop, it’s New York and the larger than life image is meant to represent Nicki “Crushing the Competition.”
Check out the behind the scenes footage from the shoot below:
