Janick Gilpin

Janick Gilpin is a photographer whose work spans editorial assignments, environmental portraiture, and long-form documentary practice. Born in the Cayman Islands and raised in Jamaica, he brings a transnational perspective to the communities and histories he photographs. Now based in Westchester County and New York City, Janick draws on lived experience, travel, and cultural immersion to build trust with his subjects, allowing him to render people and place with uncommon intimacy and clarity.

His work frequently engages questions of identity, migration, memory, and belonging, examining how social landscapes are shaped by tradition, celebration, resilience, and inequity. Janick’s images move between quiet, contemplative portraits and richly layered scenes that map the emotional and cultural texture of everyday life.

His clients include The New York Times, Vanity Fair, The Wire Magazine, and The David Prize. Janick has exhibited internationally at the Leica Store Gallery and the Outriders Festival in Warsaw, Poland. His work appears in noted publications such as #ICPConcerned: Global Images for Global Crisis and EXCITING PHOTOGRAPHY NOW!
