Gerard Gaskin: Trinidad Artists



Artist Sabrina Charran; photographed October 2006

New York-based Trinidadian photographer Gerard Gaskin is working on an ongoing series called Trinidad Artists: portraits not just of visual artists but also of musicians and writers from his home island, all shot in deadpan close-up, at once formal and almost painfully intimate. A selection of images from the series is posted on Gaskin's website (click the "portfolio" link).

(Gaskin also participated in Galvanize 2006; see more information about his Galvanize project here.)
