Peter Ferguson"s ChangeMakers 101

Photographer Peter Ferguson has joined a rapidly expanding list of` Jamaicans who are recording their work for posterity. Come May 5, he will launch ChangeMakers - a book of 101 black and white photographs of outstanding Jamaican men who have effected change through their various endeavours. Ferguson's feat is no small achievement, it took him 11 years but the result is magnificent.
ChangeMakers has foreword by Professor Rex Nettleford, and is the author's attempt to further document some aspects of the island's history before someone alien to our way of life, does it for us.
The St. Catherine-born photographer majored in graphic design at Concordia University, Canada and has racked up numerous awards plus an impressive client list spanning Jamaica, Cayman, the United States of America and the United Kingdom.
Flair got the pre-launch exclusive with Ferguson at his Hope Road studio and delved into the process of producing his pictorial masterpiece. It is late evening and he sits, surrounded by the tools of his craft, reggae musicis audible but not intrusive. He is relaxed and the subject is close to his heart, so talk is easy. After completion of studies, Ferguson probably would have been an architect or even an interior designer had he not chosen to stay behind the camera. He studied building construction at Kingston Technical High School. But, fresh from college, his first job was with Grimax Advertising Agency where he spent just a year before venturing out on his own.
