Celebrating Jamaica Through Photo Art ‘Pieces of Jamaica’

Ten years after the internationally acclaimed photo art collection-turned coffee table book ‘Pieces of Jamaica’, and in celebration of the island’s 60th anniversary of independence, photographer David I. Muir is releasing a second volume. The award-winning photographer, along with photographer and fine artist Sean Henry, has set out to capture even more stunning images of Jamaica in 2022. The new edition, Pieces of Jamaica 60, will showcase the island beyond tourism, politics, and individuals, depicting Jamaican culture not typically published or celebrated, creating a meaningful keepsake that inspires nostalgia and a patriotic spirit.

Watch the interview below as our guests speak about their book ‘Pieces of Jamaica’ and the inspiration behind it:

With this second edition of Pieces of Jamaica®: Jamrock Edition, Muir is poised to create the quintessential Jamaican photo collection of our time. 

“I wanted to celebrate Jamaica because of how much I love it. I wanted to extol the virtues of Jamaica because I had left it. And I wanted other people to know how wonderful Jamaica is. People expressed how much my images connected with them and how special they were. I don’t necessarily see myself as the best photographer, but I certainly feel as though what I share about Jamaica feels like the truth.”

– David I. Muir, Photo-Artist, Author, Entrepreneur, Community Leader
