Wayne Tippetts
I started my career as a photographer in the mid 1980s after studying Documentary Photography at The School for Independent Study in East London. It was at this time in 1986 that I first visited Jamaica and between the years of 1986 and 2003 I produced a variety of photo-projects and editorial features, both in Jamaica and the UK on subjects ranging from UK New-Age Travellers, Child Boxing in London's East End, Jamaican Racetrack, Jamaican Sugar Workers, the Jamaican Music Scene and a Young Offenders Prison in the UK. In 2008 I started a street fashion blog streetstyleaesthetic combining my documentary-style with street fashion. My today my work continues to explore the blur and boundaries that exist between street, sub-culture style and human interest. In 2015 a selection of works from my Jamaican Dancehall documentary series were acquired by The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.
