His first series, The Gods, shot on the fringes of the decaying American South has been exhibited in London, New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo. Following this Ivar moved to Kingston, Jamaica, and in 2017 the artist produced his second photographic series, Young Love, a collection of photographs made over two years spent living within the Dancehall music community. This was exhibited in 2017 at a solo show at Somerset House, London.
