Henry Maxfield- Give Thanks

Maxfield has a documentary approach to his work, learning from his subject and creating

interesting photograph of them. In this project Give Thanks he explores the Jamaican sound system culture within the UK. The work explores the community of the culture and the subject’s range from the bigger well known names and sound systems to the smaller local sounds. Maxfield’s aim with his photographs was to show the audience unknown to the culture, what a sound system dance is like and who support’s the inherited culture of Jamaican sound system. Working with a range of people involved with the scene from different generations, gave many different perspectives of culture and how its changed since its ‘hay day’ in the 60s.
