A Journey HOME

Jamaican-born photographer, model, and creative director Tameisha Edwards recently returned to her birthplace in St Ann, Jamaica, to create a deeply personal photography series titled ‘Home’. The project, which explores themes of family, roots, and identity, captures the essence of what home truly means through intimate portraits and candid moments. Edwards, whose work spans documentary, portraiture, fashion, and visual storytelling, focuses on the connections that shape our lives. ‘The Home project is my exploration of what home really is: The people we love, the family that shapes us, the spaces where memories linger, and the special moments that make life feel connected,’ Edwards explains. Her photographs celebrate the bonds between people, the love we share, and the sense of belonging that makes a home truly feel like home. Edwards’ journey into photography began three years ago, initially using her iPhone to teach herself composition and framing. Her first major project was capturing behind-the-scenes photos for Omah Lay’s New Wave magazine feature, which ignited her passion for storytelling through images. Now based between London and Bristol, Edwards has gained recognition for her work, which has been featured in PhotoVogue and various exhibitions. She has also made a name for herself in modelling, working with brands like Avon Cosmetics, Nike, and Juicy Couture. Looking ahead, Edwards aims to expand her creative work into styling and jewellery design while continuing to mentor young Caribbean creatives. Her trip to Jamaica was a healing experience, allowing her to reconnect with her heritage and see her home with fresh eyes. Her images, vibrant and intimate, are a testament to the lived experiences of Jamaicans.
