Jik-Reuben Pringle hasn't added a story.
My name is Jik-Reuben, I am a 24 year old Photographer that lives in Kingston, Jamaica and I am the Visual Ninja.
I developed a deep passion for photography in 2008 at my high school library, where I spent hours flipping through National Geographic Magazines. It was at this age I knew in the future I wanted to travel and capture different cultures and landscapes across the globe. However it wasn’t until 2010 when I joined UTECHs photography club and subsequently became the president that the interest blossomed into what it is today. From the modest days of using a point and shoot camera to covering my first live concert I have grown and continued to capture a host of different live shows and I have also branched out into portraits, landscapes, food, commercial, corporate events and wedding photography.
Photography for me is about exploring emotions and unearthing
different perspectives; this can be seen through my unique cinematic
approach that yields alluring photographs that are sincere and
soulful. I believe this distinct approach has built up a love for
concert photography, black and white and portrait portraiture. In the
5 years since I started I have transformed into the Visual Ninja and
have earned recognition for my unique perspectives. The passion for
black and white and portraiture has led me to explore themes such as
black empowerment, women empowerment, equality, cancer awareness and
other illnesses. All of which is evident in my most recent works.
Travelling and exploring is important and comes natural to me, I love to travel or hike within my own little island of Jamaica. Jamaica's landscape is so beautiful. When I started exploring my own Island I would reminisce on Nat Geo images and be amazed that Jamaica had so many hidden gems similar if not triumphant to those i saw. I recall this last year May, I said to a group of friends I would love to travel and experience Europe. Be totally enriched in its culture, people and vast landscapes.
In July myself and 10 other creative will be participating in
the United Purpose Tour (Up! Tour). The Up! Tour is a
traveling showcase highlighting Jamaican culture and creativity. This
Tour is the Brain child of the Nanook community which is a social
enterprise geared towards nurturing creativity and communal
industries. Joan Webley, Founder of Nanook had a vision of creating a
space for creative people to be able to identify and work towards the
maximum potential and output of their talent, skill or craft which
I’ve seen unfold with various cultural and creative activities that
have taken place there, such as Sankofa Session, Thursday Jam nights,
Meditation on a Sunday, just to name a few. To learn more click here.
Through participating in the Up Tour I will be promoting an
authentic Jamaican experience at different festival and cultural
spaces across Europe for two months starting in July. I’m also proud
to be working on my first Exhibition entitled the “Visual
Ninja” which will incorporate 17 of my most treasured
photographs from landscapes, concert photography and portraiture, as
well as past video projects that I’ve worked on as a videographer.
