Delton Barrett

 

Delton Barrett is a first-generation Bahamian-Jamaican and self-taught fine art photographer, concerned with surrealist perspectives. His passion for photography began in 2010 while working in construction with his father. Dedicating his practice to the rejection of tradition—favouring the reinvention of images of everyday Caribbean landscapes instead—Barrett uses himself as subject to create rich, vibrant, and bold photographs. Each image, relaying the emotions, concepts, and ideas inspired by twenty-first-century island life. 

His intentional act of grounding and “freezing” for the frame, allows him to explore self-portraiture and engage with stillness without disrupting the landscape and intended composition. His primary focus is creating works that embrace the freedom of nature, the transition of mankind’s technology, and stories that portray the irony of life itself.
