Hey, my name is Ja-Vanie I am a freelance portrait photographer born in Jamaica raised in East London. I completed the Positive View course in late 2019, the course allowed me to fall back in love with documentary photography and gave me the confidence I had lost throughout the years. I love shooting those that are not always represented by mainstream media. I also love highlighting people’s roots and culture in my work. I find it very important to always remember where you are coming from and I want my work to be the embodiment of that. I want you to feel something when you look at my photographs.
