Jamaica portrait



In June I was sent to Jamaica to shoot an assignment.  Once the job was completed I wanted to shoot more portraits so I kept my assistant with me for an extra day, hired a local guide and after a few unsuccessful attempt in the closest town, asked him to drive us to people he knew would agree to have their portraits taken in exchange for the promise of a print (rather than money).  We drive up into the mountains on winding roads through jungle til we came to his home town.  I shot portraits of his friends and family, this is one of my favorites.

John Lennon Glasses

Reference image alongside the final shot


John Lennon's critique on the world around him was reflected in his music, writings, drawings, films and in interviews.  Its a lucky we can reflect upon his contributions for all time.

Attempting to capture some of John's wit, this was shot for Worn Fashion Journal.  

One of my favorite songs by John Lennon is Working Class Hero.
