About - Talented NY Based Portrait Photographer - Rawle C. Jackman

About

A NY based portrait photographer creating classic and evocative portraits, I focus on non-models and place regular people in situations that highlight an aspect of who they are. I look for a sense of defiance and fortitude in my work.

I believe a portrait is one of the most valuable things a person can have for themselves and their family. It is simply something that we all deserve to have done at some point in our life. A portrait is one of the few things that will outlive us and remain for our loved ones.

I specialize in portraiture, editorial and boudoir photography. ~ Rawle

Honored and humbled to have gotten this award. Especially after looking at the quality and standard of work in the @theportraitmasters world. Looking towards stepping up to silver and maybe even gold thereafter. Always a work in progress. 🙏🏾

“The head-wrap, however, was more than a badge of enslavement imposed on female slaves by their owners. Embellishment of the head and hair was a central component of dress in various parts of Africa, particularly in West Africa. From the time European fabrics were made available to them, African women wore head-wraps similar to those worn by their enslaved counterparts in America. For these women, the wrap, which varied in form from region to region, signified communal identity. At the same time, the particular appearance of an individual head-wrap was an expression of personal identity.

In America, the head-wrap was a utilitarian item, which kept the slave's hair protected from the elements in which she worked and helped to curb the spread of lice. Yet, as in Africa, the head-wrap also created community -- as an item shared by female slaves -- and individuality, as a thing unique to the wearer. Cassandra Stancil, enslaved in her youth, insisted that she never asked another woman how to tie her head-scarf. "I always figured I could do it," she said, "I could try and experiment and if not get that, get something that I liked."

The head-wrap was an object of oppression from one vantage point. But from the other, the perspective of the slave community, it was a vehicle of empowerment and a memento of freedom.”

I’m testing Facebook’s updated and now renamed Business Suite app that allows you to post simultaneously to Facebook and IG from within the Business Suite app. It also states that you can schedule your posts to IG as well. Seems like a move to challenge apps like Later and Planoly that allows you to schedule and post to IG.

Btw I like this image I shot sometime ago.
