Throughout a career that spans six decades and two continents, British-Ghanaian photographer James Barnor has captured major social and political changes, while cultivating a richly layered practice that encompasses the genres of studio portraiture, photojournalism and social documentary photography.
Accra/London: A Retrospective, focuses on the period 1950-1980, selected from more than 32,000 available images. Central to Barnor’s work is the intimate documentation of African and Afro-diasporic lives across time and space. Whether making family snapshots, commissioned portraits or commercial assignments, Barnor approaches the photographic process as a collaborative venture, a conversation with the sitter, and his images are a testament to a lifetime of encounters.
These two limited edition prints are available to purchase as a set, either framed or unframed for a limited time only, until December 21st 2022.
