Ivar Wigan
Born in Scotland, and raised in London, photographer Ivar Wigan now resides in LA.
He approaches narrative and portrait scenes with a nuanced sensitivity to social interaction.
Through imagery culled from intimate relationships and interactions with his surroundings, the
photographer aims to break down barriers that society has built up around minority and youth
cultures.
Ivar’s most well known project is 'The Gods', a series he created during time spent immersed in
the urban culture of the Southern US cities of Atlanta, Miami and New Orleans. It was here that
Ivar first became absorbed by the mutable youth and music cultures that unfold out of the
African diaspora. Following this Ivar continued to document his friends and the environment
around him but this time in Kingston, Jamaica.
Clients include NOCTA, Alexander Wang, I AM GIA, The Elder Statesman, Supreme, The Face
and Smirnoff.
Ivar is with Academy for photography representation and is available for content & social
direction.
