Ryan Prince (born 1991, London) is a London-based documentary and portrait photographer whose work interrogates representation, identity, and family narratives. Drawing on his own experience as a Black British man from the Jamaican diaspora, his photography challenges stereotypes and reframes the ways Black communities are seen.
Prince’s images often centre on familial intimacy and everyday moments, offering a nuanced, affirmative counterpoint to dominant visual narratives. He studied Fine Art at the University of East London before completing an MA in Documentary Photography and Photojournalism at the University of Westminster. His work has been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery, the Black Cultural Archives, and the Royal Photographic Society, and is held in the Martin Parr Foundation collection.
