About Me

Diallo Dixon
I am a Jamaican photographer who captures a wide variety of subjects through his viewfinder. As my roots lie in black & white film work, I tend to lean towards b&w for digital work. My non-commissioned work tend to lean towards fine art or wall art works, however im also available for commissioned work such as weddings, product photography and more.

Hiatus

  • This is just to let you know that I havent posted in a while mainly because, other than the usual culprit (lack of time) my camera has not been working properly. Something's wrong with the circuit board, which results in the LCD flickering and this flickering shows up in any pic I take. In addition to that the camera will delete pics from the memory card at random times. So I am in the process of getting a new camera, the Canon Powershot S2 IS, an old model but right now its what I can afford. And of course it will take me a little while to get used to it, so it'll be a little while before I post any new pics. Til then I will just put up the pics that seem to be the visitors' favourties (from number of comments).

  • Red Bull brought go kart racing to the streets of New Kingston on Sunday past (Sept 3rd). The entire course was fenced off so very difficult to find a good spot to take pictures. Only managed to find one spot. They also had a couple of not-your-every-day cars on display so I got a few pics of those as well.

  • Rocky V at Village Cafe

  • On Tuesday night, July 19, I ventured to Village Cafe to watch Mario (also of Choir Boyz) perform with his band, Rocky V. This was a challenging shoot, as there wasnt a lot of light, its protocol that flash is not used whilst a performance is in progress, and my powershot A75 is very limited in low light. Another factor was positioning, the place is small, and it was very crowded so I could onyl shoot from one spot. Didnt get all the band members in action unfortunately. But somehow I made it work and got some shots of Rocky V in action as well as couple of the other acts.

  • More practice at macro photography. I think this was a pretty good attempt. Taken outside by my mother's townhouse, April 23 2006.

    Devon House shoot

  • Saturday, June 03, 2006
  • Diallo Dixon
  • I dont have many photos of an architectural nature in my portfolio. So to remedy this, early Sunday morning I visited one of Jamaica's landmark mansions, George Steibel's Devon House. I left a little under an hour later feeling like I had wasted my time. An uninspiring shoot to say the least. It wasnt until I was going through the pictures being very idle that I realized how well black and white worked on most of the shots I had. Lesson of the day: black and white and old wooden houses work very well together. Shoot done July 2, 2006

  • Jamaica Carnival 2006

  • The next few shots are an attempt at a bit of photojournalism, the subject being Jamaica Carnival 2006. A lesson I learned here is that to take good photos one must be disciplined and not be distracted nor drawn in to the revelry :)

  • My friends and I stopped off at a small restaurant situated on a small secluded beach in Annotto Bay en route a trip to Frenchman's cove. The peaceful little hideaway somewhat captivated me, I never forgot it. Here are a few samples from a shoot I did some time later.
