Jamal Lloyd Davis is a British-Jamaican Photographer and Filmmaker with a practice centring on the complex and enigmatic realms of Black identity; specifically, focusing on themes such as mental health.
Davis’s work explores community and their surroundings, and comments on the societal constructs that try to limit and define it while embarking on a continuous journey of experimental techniques.
He is also a member of Extra Ordinary People and part of the REFLECTOR cohort run by Grain Projects. With previous work shown at Vivid Projects, Dreamy Place, Factory International and Southbank Centre.
Jamal is currently working on a series titled black-and-blue, turning the camera on himself for the first time, a new series of self-portraits that intimately explore his own experiences with anxiety.
