Capturing Moments That Last Forever

At Abba Jahnehoy Place, we believe in the power of photography to tell stories. The journey started with Janhoi Jaja an award winning photographer and Jamaica’s first Rastafarian photographer who has a passion for capturing life's fleeting moments which continues to inspire us every day. His work has been published in various books and album covers for some of Reggae music’s most prolific artists. Through the lens Janhoi has captured moments in time when reggae music and the Rastafarian culture garnered the (attention of the world. As a young Rastafarian in the late seventies through the eighties, Janhoi saw the culture of Rastafari as ‘a way to enlightenment’. Throughout his journey, his gift and passion for photography enabled him to capture some of the most iconic artists, places and events that would propel the culture of Rastafari and Reggae music worldwide. Janhoi sees life through the lens and with every click of the shutter he captures a moment, an expression, documenting an era, a culture that transcends time.
