Artist Patrick Planter

Jamaican fine art photographer and photojournalist — transforms emotion into imagery, from Kingston’s cultural heartbeat to Europe’s gallery walls. A graduate of Edna Manley College, his bold, poetic work ranges from dynamic reportage to soulful portraiture. His acclaimed series Shades explores feeling through light and form, earning exhibitions across Europe. With over 20 shows and numerous awards, Planter’s lens captures both the moment and the memory. Now based in Switzerland, he continues bridging worlds—Caribbean and global, personal and universal. Every photograph begins with a question: What do you feel when you truly see?
