Delton Barrett

 

A first-generation Bahamian-Jamaican and self-taught photographer, Delton Barrett often teases the boundary of experimental photography, preferring to reject tradition in favor of reinvention to produce an innovative and more thought-provoking idea. His photographs are rich, vibrant, and bold, centering the artist as a vessel to relay the emotions, concepts, and ideas inspired by twenty-first-century island life. Barrett grounds himself in nature, allowing this engagement to teach him stillness. This act of grounding and “freezing” for the frame, allows him to explore self-portraiture without disrupting the landscape and intended composition. Barrett’s focus is on creating images that embrace the freedom of nature, the transition of mankind’s technology, and stories that portray the irony of life itself.
