“A truly amazing experience stepping in front of the lens of the immensely talented @kenkamara. 📸

Ken wasn’t using your standard digital kit, mind you.
He was shooting with a gorgeous Yashica Mat TLR medium format camera from 1956. There’s a magnificent, almost spiritual quiet to that process - no instant feedback, just the distinct, mechanical click and the knowledge that the image is now locked in the film.

Such a pleasure to watch Ken work, deftly switching between his different cameras, making sure the light was just right and asking me to make the smallest of movements with my eyes. I’m a huge fan of his work and only wish we would have had longer together.

Pure magic. Thank you, Ken, for the journey back in time.”

“Ken Kamara
A true artist of connection, soul, and film.

When I learned Ken loves shooting on film,
I went digging… and unearthed a treasure:
Fujichrome 400F. From 2007.

Yes. 2007.

We were all curious
What would he shoot?
How would 17-year-old film even look?” @artistsandlegends taken in London, England by @kenkamara

This #series of #portraits encompasses people belonging to different #generations, #genders, #religions, #ethnicities and #walksoflife. Every one of them belongs to the same race: the #human.

Each portrait #reflects in different ways what stands at the core of the Black Lives Matter #Movement: the #struggle of #many of us to bring people #together, against the centrifugal #force of #racism which is #designed to #tear people apart.

The struggle of those who choose to be #honest about the situation and with themselves, and to undertake the #uncomfortable #path of #demonstrating, rather than cocooning in the #safety of their #bubble, leaving the #burden of the #fight to others.

As an #artist, as a #human, I #refuse to turn a blind #eye to the #virus of #racism, and to how deeply it has harmed our #society.

Through the #lens I chose to find a way to try and help people #see. To try and #help people #empathise. To try and help people connect with the #humanity of not just people of #colour, rather of all those who wish to speak truthfully about the costs of racism.

There are people out there #who #understand, and there are people who don’t understand but decide to #stand and #support the cause. We know that there is no #equality, and without equality there is no such thing as a just, #healthy society.

I have #questions:
How can we choose not to #see?
How can we choose to avoid?

There is a #sufferance that is inflicted and that is continuing to be inflicted, that #people still #choose to ignore.

As a #British born person with #WestAfrican #descent, I understand very well the pain of #discrimination and the fear of not progressing through #society, which has kept me quite for far too long.
Over time I came to terms with #injustice and accepted it, as accepting #abuse because of the #colour of my #skin was just the way things were and are. It is part of the norm.

That does not make it #right.
