PS: Which celebrity were you most excited to work with and photograph going into the project?
PG: I was excited to work with everybody. Angela Bassett, I'd never met before, and I love that she's like a mother figure to me. I've always wanted to work with her . . . I was excited about everybody and how they all treated my team on set. Almost 90 percent of the team on set were Black, and so it was an exciting, memorable moment for everyone. I'm very grateful to Pirelli for giving me that platform, creative freedom, and canvas to be able to express myself and tell stories that are true that could inspire the younger generation coming after me. I want them to have that voice or confidence to express themselves without using someone else's blueprint. But also to be truthful to what has happened around them in their community, and to try to find solutions to the problems they are facing. That's what freedom is. Freedom is expressing yourself using your mind, your soul, your heart, and your hands.
