• THE PHOTOGRAPHERS •
Alan Smith
Born in Canada to a Jamaican father and a Canadian mother, Alan Smith found art at an early age. After spending his formative years growing up in Jamaica, his passion for drawing led him to study Illustration, Graphic Design Advertising and Photography in Canada.
In his early 30's he returned to Jamaica, offering his services to the commercial and fine art world. Montego Bay is still his home.
Radi Konstantinov
Bulgarian by birth, Radi Konstatinov is a Jamaican national whose travels and multicultural aesthetic heavily influence his work.
Holding a BA in Philosophy and Studio Art, he started his career as an event photographer, subsequently moving to London to pursue his MFA in Photographic Studies and spent 10+ years working in the commercial photography industry. He is currently based in Athens, Greece.
• THE JOURNEY •
Life on the Line is a joint photographic project documenting the once-active branch of the Jamaican railway from Spanish Town to Port Antonio. In 2025, photographers Alan Smith and Radi Konstatinov walked the 70-mile route, capturing what remains largely unseen - from the overgrown tracks and crumbling stations to the lush landscapes and the resilient communities that continue to live and thrive along the line.
Life on the Line comprises a 200-page Photobook and a travelling exhibition across four locations: Kingston, Montego Bay, Spanish Town, and Port Antonio.
