Biography

Damien Jackson is a documentary and fine-art photographer represented by Gallery GPG (Harlem, NY). Born in Gibraltar and raised between St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Brooklyn, his large-format black-and-white work explores Black and Caribbean life through ancestry, inheritance, and the quiet moments when, as he says, “our ancestors shine through most.” His photographs have been exhibited at the Atlanta Photography Group (juried by the George Eastman Museum), Houston Center for Photography, and internationally at the Atlanta Art Fair. He has received the LensCulture Black & White Photography Awards Editor’s Feature and has two sold-out editions. He is influenced by Gordon Parks, Roy DeCarava, and Jamel Shabazz.
