JAMIYA WILSON, an award-winning portrait and beauty photographer based in New York City, will be exhibiting his portrait project, 100 Faces: Street Portraits by Jamiya Wilson, on January 31st, 2019. The project captures the interesting and unique denizens of New York City as Wilson came across them in his daily life from 2017 through 2018.
As Wilson states, “The constant hustle required for living in a place like New York City can make us somewhat oblivious or even dismissive of those around us. Large crowds of people seem to blur together as if part of the scenery. No longer people, but another obstacle in the way of your daily commute or rush to the coffee shop. 100 Faces is my humble attempt to get people to stop for a moment and consider that stranger. That person across from you on a busy street or sitting inches away on a park bench. They’re more than just another face in the crowd, but someone with hopes and dreams, family and friends; someone who has probably lived a life you’d never believe.”
Originally from Jackson, MS, Wilson has been a photographer for over 12 years. His beauty photography has been sought after by clients such as L’Oreal and Lancome. While his editorial imagery has been featured in esteemed publications such as Elle Magazine. He was also recently featured on the television show, Top Photographer with Nigel Barker.
The 100 Faces exhibition will be Wilson’s first ever and the first of many. As he states, “I’ve always wanted to have an exhibition of my work, but never had the right project. This one felt right and the images are stunning. I’m probably biased saying that, but I believe the photographs will really resonate with people. I hope to do more shows in the future. Maybe two a year!”
The event will take place on January 31, 2019 at Rogue Space Chelsea, 508-526 West 26th St. 9th Floor New York, NY 10001 from 7pm till 10pm.
Completely self-funded, the project reflects Wilson’s artistic sensibilities, passion for photography, and love for the people he photographs.
