About Isiah Jordan
Isiah Jordan — a UK-based photographer and youth worker whose work explores identity, culture, and community. Grounded in a social documentary approach, Isiah’s photography is shaped by the people he collaborates with — their voices, their stories, and their lived experiences. He challenges traditional ideas about who gets to tell which stories and why. His project Never Succeed at Silence continues that exploration, inviting honest conversations about belonging, behaviour, and the space between photographer and subject.
