Description
When he began his career as a photographer in 1949, James Barnor revisited the traditional studio portrait by placing his models outdoors, with Accra as a backdrop. In England, he chronicled the hectic Swinging Sixties from the perspective of the African diaspora, then returned to Ghana where he introduced color photography.
A versatile and innovative artist, and an archivist attentive to the posterity of his work, James Barnor is today a major source of inspiration for a new generation of photographers.
