Black Power by Janice Reid

Janice Reid is an emerging artist based in Brampton, On.

Reid is a portrait photographer who received her diploma in creative photography from Humber College. Her photography focuses on the Black female subject, innovations in fashion, and the urban landscape. The artist explains, “I want my work to focus on telling the stories of the invisibility of Black women so that we can start to re-imagine and re-create our own narratives collectively.”

Janice Reid’s colorful contemporary style has been shaped by a breadth of photographers and mixed media artists including Carrie Mae Weems, Lorraine O’Grady, and Oroma Elewa.

FFOTO was introduced to Janice Reid’s photography through our partnership with BAND Gallery and Cultural Centre.
