In the first reunion since a decade, the Marley family was at the focus of GQ Magazine for a photography series that paid tribute to Bob Marley's everlasting memory and influence.
Photographer Eric Ray Davidson was at the forefront of the project, with his portfolio of impressive clients making him perfect for the job. He captures a genuine sense of freedom and happiness among Bob Marley's family, showing them with infectious smiles as they interact with the camera and their relatives.
GQ Magazine includes photos of the legendary singer's sons, daughters and grandchildren with a series of short interviews that correspond. Each photo has a explanation to go along with it, showing how the Marley family is carrying on the singer's legacy with Tuff Gong -- the brand that makes up the multiple businesses started by himself and his relatives.
