Jorian Charlton’s evocative portraits often straddle the worlds of fashion editorial and intimate family photographs. After Charlton connects with sitters through social media, and acquaints herself with their styles of self-presentation to inform her collaborative photoshoots, she deliberately shoots on a medium-format film camera. Her viewfinder requires her to look downward, at a mirrored image of the scene before the camera. With only ten shots per roll of film, every capture is intensely considered, slowing down the photographic process. Kaleb stands out in Charlton’s impressive body of work. Whereas other images are intensely stylised and atmospheric, this straight-on portrait of a young boy – who appears majestic even in his simple white shirt, by a chain-link fence – cuts to the crux of Charlton’s focus on themes of Black family life, community, and love. Kaleb evokes stories and memories that compose the tapestry of Caribbean diasporas, revealing Charlton’s nuanced understanding, and celebration, of Jamaican-Canadian culture.
