About the collective

Rose-Ann M. Bailey / Blkmail Photography is a Jamaican-born artist who uses photography to depict alternative images of people of African descent, challenging mainstream media portrayals. As a graduate of York University, she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography (Honours), an Education degree, and a Master's in Education. Her research focuses on arts-based community research as a health intervention for low socio-economic communities.

An accomplished producer, filmmaker, photographer, and artist, she has worked with digital formats for the past 20 years and incorporates the aesthetics of historical photography to enrich her work. Her focus is deeply connected to her passion for creating images of Black bodies, seeing this as a deliberate opportunity to capture memories, validate existence, and build self-esteem—allowing her subjects' images to serve as political tools that rewrite representation.
