Photographer Janna Ireland aims to capture intimacy and relationships in her work, which she says focuses primarily on Black life in America.
For the Los Angeles-based photographer, that has included photographing staged scenes as well as self-portraits and portraits of her family — including, most recently, of her two sons during the pandemic.
"In my work, I'm happy when all different kinds of people appreciate it, but I feel as though I'm making it for Black people," she says.
