James O'Connor

James O'Connor is another exciting young Trinidadian photographer who manages to capture something about our essence in his work. Lest that sound like flippant marketing copy, a look at his photos brings home the point- I don't think these pictures could be taken anywhere else in the world. They are quintessentially Trinidadian. Some good old fudge and coconut cake.

I find this photo very interesting- it is so unusual in its composition and content and despite the skeleton, manages to convey life, youth and learning.
A whole life ahead. Good morning world.

Breathe
A different perspective; feet are so vulnerable. They get me everytime.

Flowers, flowers everywhere
A real commonwealth shot.
