Fashion photographer and creative director Ja’Mez open his first solo exhibition, “Breaking Into My Skin” on May 15th, 2025, The King’s Canvas, a local gallery located on the West Side of Montgomery, Alabama. He expressed initial concerns about hosting a solo show, as he wanted to ensure it would celebrate the value of identity and expression. Williams has personally struggled with identity and self-expression, and photography became his beacon—helped him overcome fear and stagnation. His dedication to his craft and unwavering determination have allowed him to branch out into a new realm of the art world.
This exhibition marks a turning point for Williams, transforming him from a once-shy kid into a rising cultural icon. With the founding of his creative company, Studio Tywon., he has positioned himself for continued success and opened the door to collaborations with other artists who share his passion for identity and creative expression.
Ja’Mez Williams began his journey as a fashion, portrait, conceptual, beauty photographer and creative director at the age of 16, specializing in capturing the essence of people. He blends beauty and creativity by emphasizing the subtle interplay of light and experimenting with his models, aiming to leave a lasting impact on our vibrant world. In his studio work, he meticulously uses lighting, composition, and attention to detail to achieve depth and sophistication in every session. His approach goes beyond merely taking photos; it's about evoking a sense of wonder, interpretation, and attitude to create compelling portraits.
His exhibition “Breaking Into My Skin” is a powerful invitation into identity through raw and evocative portraiture. This exhibition follows the journey of a young man striking to leave a lasting imprint. It’s more than just an exhibition—it's an introspective testimony urging you to delve, interpret, and connect. Each image captures vulnerability, resilience, and even evolution of becoming, inviting viewers to reflect on their sense of identity.
