My journey in photography

It all began with a spark of excitement and a desire to explore the

world through the lens of a camera. The journey, however, was not

It all began with a spark of excitement and a desire to explore the

world through the lens of a camera. The journey, however, was not

without challenges. To make this dream a reality, I embarked

on a mission to convince my dad to acquire my very first camera.

Unfortunately, fate had other plans, and my father passed away before I

could hold that cherished camera.

But, as the saying goes, when one door closes, another one opens. The next

chapter in this remarkable story introduces me to a fellow student who plays

a pivotal role in shaping my photographic destiny. This individual, who

coincidentally also happened to be my senior in school, introduced me to

the enchanting world of photography.

Here, the journey took a turn towards wedding photography. During the

the course of shooting weddings, I realized that I no longer found joy in that line

of work but instead found an interest in documenting what was happening

around me.”

This revelation marked the beginning of a fascinating transition towards

documentary photography. The power of storytelling through photographs—

Capturing the raw emotions and candid moments of everyday life—became

my mission. My obsession with black-and-white photography further

deepened this connection, allowing me to strip away the distractions of color

and focus on the essence of my subjects.

The culmination of this incredible journey came in September 2018, with

the support of my father’s friend, who helped me acquire my first camera—a

Canon 7D with an 18–135mm lens.

One particular morning, this Mum found her usual spot under a majestic oak tree, she felt an overwhelming desire to connect with something greater than herself. With a heart full of gratitude and a soul seeking solace, she closed her eyes and raised her hand into the air, a humble gesture of surrender

As Mum's hand reached toward the heavens, her spirit soared. She poured her prayers into the open expanse above her, releasing her worries, hopes, and dreams into the care of the divine. In that simple act of raising her hand, she found a profound sense of peace and reassurance.

Beyond what we see, beneath flesh and bone, lies a connection so deep and thick.
Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, these boys stand.
Unified souls with unbreakable bonds

Brotherhood, not defined by birth or name
But by loyalty unyielding, an eternal flame
Through trials and triump

Brotherhood, not defined by birth or name
But by loyalty unyielding, an eternal flame
Through trials and triumphs, they navigate.
Together, they conquer, and for each, they advocate.
Bonded with unity throughout the journey ahead of them,
In the brotherhood's embrace, they all stand tall.

In the vibrant town of Akosombo, nestled on the banks of the mighty Volta River, the air hummed with anticipation and the spirit of celebration. In this close-knit community, these children had discovered the power of dance to unlock their boundless happiness.

With a joyful leap, the first child entered

With a joyful leap, the first child entered the center of the circle, her body moving in harmony with the beats. Her movements were a dance of freedom, a celebration of life itself. The crowd that had assembled around them erupted in cheers, their voices intertwining with the drums, creating a symphony of exhilaration.

One by one, the children took turns, expressing themselves through their unique styles and interpretations. Their feet glided across the ground with nimble grace, their bodies swaying to the pulsating rhythm. Each dancer painted a story in the air, a tale of heritage and resilience, of dreams and aspirations.
