How Crime and violence Affects Photographers in Jamaica https://buzzsouthafrica.com/top-10-most-feared-crime-in-south-africa-neither-murder-nor-rape-is-most-feared/ Being a Jamaican I am no stranger to crime and violence, however, I was not brought up in the extreme volatile environs where I have been exposed to the actual violence. The perspective from which I am coming is much like you an outsider looking in, the only difference is that I am sometimes in the physical situation. Being a photographer it is in my nature to be adventurous and somewhat fearless, but sometimes this is not always a good thing, I have put myself in some weird situations shooting in uncharted territories.

I also love the group and Family portraits. The group dynamic is a bit more complicated as there is always an assigned role
