Jati Lindsay


Jati Lindsay's work is all over the place. Open the City Paper, The Washington Post, The Source and even Essence and you are bound to see of some his photos. His work has been featured in local and international galleries including the Philadelphia African American Museum. His ongoing documentation U Street has brought attention to an area that has gone through more rapid changes than perhaps any other area in Washington DC. His black and white images evoke nostalgia of the days when U Street was a home of jazz greats and urban hangouts, not over priced boutiques and cookie cutter lounges.

Long before photographers such as David Scheinbaum even discovered hip hop/urban culture, Jati Lindsay was shooting hip hop artist in concert and for album covers. Some albums he shot covers for include; Big Brother, Platinum Pied Pipers and The Foreign Exchange. Jati is often seen around town with his camera shooting events, local artist and landscapes.
