DEX R. JONES . ARTIST | CREATIVE DIRECTOR | PHOTOGRAPHER

Influenced by the cultural richness of his Caribbean heritage and African studies, Dexter R. Jones (top image) unwaveringly removes the veil of self-conscious inhibition by eliminating the preconceived sense of beauty and reveals its true splendor in that vulnerable state. Jones relentlessly pushes the characterization of beauty not often seen. Encompassing a mixture of texture, hues, and prints in his editorial photography, his expertise in justly capturing women of vast shades is indicative from his strong matriarchal upbringing as a child. The Brooklyn, NY born photographer utilizes enticing colors and endearing gradients to surpass what is superficial and create a mood that highlights what is his reality. Jones is driven by an infectious passion that is distinctly exposed in the strong subjects he portrays. That desire is translated in the regality of his images.

“As someone who identifies himself as an African man, I try to show that pride in my work.  I also try show the importance of freedom.  That another person’s perception or fear of your Blackness should in no way be limiting you from being who you feel in your heart you are.  

You can dress how you’d like, or undress how you’d like.  Your good times should be celebrated and your down times should be embraced.  I want my work to be an example for the developing youth.  So that they too can see representation of themselves that isn’t one-dimensional.

I feel blessed to have the mentality that I am an African artist.  I see the world differently.  And this mentality is rooted in having the desire to know where I come from.  Let’s give Black kids that same desire.”

WHERE HAS THE NIGHT GONE? by Dexter R. Jones Mystery misunderstood. She was chased away by the harsh realities of the day. No one fervently peeked around the corners of the sky awaiting her return. But she returned. Too often She heard the hopes and declarations of good Mornings. But never enough did any ever wish of her a good Night. Still She remained a Good Knight To an impossible Black sky.
