Photographer Jamell Tate captures moments of Carnival street scenes and the city’s future culture bearers Born and raised in the 9th Ward, Jamell Tate has always had friends and

GAMBIT DETAILS

FEBRUARY 2021

family members who participate in Mardi Gras Indian masking and second lines. So it made sense that when he began his professional photography career in 2017, he ended up photographing these cultural events — and naturally running into many familiar faces along the way.

Tate’s personal relationships with the Mardi Gras Indian tribes, social clubs and other culture bearers in the city are reflected in his vibrant, joyful photographs that make the viewer feel as if they were there themselves — which is particularly poignant and sentimental this year, as large celebrations including those typically organized by these groups, have been canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many of Tate’s favorite shots showcase children donning colorful costumes and dancing to their hearts’ content. Looking at these photos, you can’t help but see a bright future.

14

Details: A lot of your photos feature children at second lines and other events.

What do you like about photographing children?

Jamell Tate: The kids, I guess — they’re at an age where they don’t really have an ego. They’re just out there and it’s pure, so they just give their all. For the most part, they don’t worry about being embarrassed ... They’re not really showing off for the camera, but they’re just living. They’re a product of this culture, and then they grow up and they continue the culture, so it’s lovely watching the kids out there. They’re my favorite. Some of my favorite shots, some of my best shots that I’ve gotten were taking photos of the kids, so definitely got to give them a lot of credit for living their best life.

D: How does photography allow you to connect with the local community?

J: One thing I do for the Indians is give them a portion of proceeds for my big prints that I do. So there’s a kid that I made a connection with — him and his father — on my first Mardi Gras shooting. His name is Little Josh. Whenever I make a huge sale from selling one of his big prints, I give the money to his dad. He puts that in his school funds so he can buy school things for him or continue to mask because you have to pay for those, too. All the free prints and everything, it’s just giving back because they give so much.

D: As a local Black photographer photographing Black cultural traditions, what do you hope people take away from your work?

J: Mostly just the contributions to the city and its culture, and what it would be without all of these Black contributions.

Like what would New Orleans really be?

It’s just like the heart of New Orleans definitely for me — this music, the food, the Mardi Gras Indians, the second lines, all those things ... I just want people to recognize and acknowledge the contributions because there’s so much going on with gentrification and people being moved around. There’s still a lot of people that never moved back after Katrina, and they had a lot to contribute to this culture as well. It’s been going on long before I was born here, long before a lot of people moved here.
