Justin J. Jackson: Keeping Culture Alive in Leimert Park One Portrait at a Time

Justin J. Jackson is currently renovating a space into a studio and gallery in Leimert Park to showcase his photography. A Los Angeles native, Jackson believes Leimert Park’s diverse community, vibrant culture and rich music history provide an ideal backdrop for his work.

Jackson takes inspiration from Leimert Park’s diverse African-American culture and music, especially the city’s “old jazz greats”: John Coltrain, Art Blakey and Marvin Gaye. He has shot portraits of some of today’s most influential musicians such as: Neyo, Jhené Aiko, Miguel, Willow Smith and Anthony Hamilton.
