BOATBUILDERS of ACCRA . On the the shores of Jamestown, a team of carpenters and master boatbuilders are seen planing wood beams used for the hull of what the locals call a Poli or Watsa Canoe. There is a smell of the ocean on the breeze as it cools the workers, who graft underneath loosely bound muslin cloth which shelters them from the harsh midday sun. The Canoes, which vary between 12 to 14 meters in length, are made from the wood of the Wawa tree (Triplochiton scleroxylon) or the African white wood. . . 📷 Sony Alpha 7ii 50mm ISO 400 S/S 800 f8 . . . . . . . . . . . #ghana #accra #travelphotography #boatbuilder #craft #africa #proudpointsafrica #travelgram #bnw_captures #bnw #bnwphotography #gameoftones #woodworking #africaninspired #lensculture #exploretocreate #passionpassport #culturetrip #westafrican #peopleinframe #traveltheworld #wanderlust #fisherman #natgeotravel @whatweseee #spicollective #lensculture #bnw_magazine #bbctravel @sonyalpha (at Accra, Ghana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMeTj_mgyeK/?igshid=7phljn9smx95

A PRAYER FOR THE FUTURE An afternoon with Abang Kieu . I had the pleasure of photographing @abangkieu recently, and not only was a beautiful human, but had quite a remarkable story. . Abang was born in Sudan during the Second Sudanese Civil War which lasted for 22years (1983-2005) At the age of five, Abang and his family were able to claim asylum and move to Norway. . Once the initial culture shock subsided and he climatized to the contrasting environment, Abang immerse himself in all the opportunities that his new home could give him, and found a deep passion for engineering in high school, and an interest in the excavation of oil and minerals which are a major industry in both Sudan and Norway. This later led him to study Oil & Gas management here in the UK. . Abang was discovered by @elitemodelworld while working security to help pay for his degree, two years ago, at a festival in Tottenham. . Speaking to him about his plans to for the future and how he intends to curb and better manage our global dependence on these finite resources, I was truly inspired by his passion and positive view for the future. I wish you all the best my friend and look forward to working together again soon 🙏🏽 . . . . . . . . . . . . #portraitphotography #portrait #interview #ig_captures #igdaily #independentmagazine #bwphotography #sonyalpha #kodak #ig_bnw @ewb_uk @interviewmag #time @shell_ontheroaduk #modeling #fashion #editorial #hopeforthefuture #studiophotography #analog #beauty #sudan #prayer #pray https://www.instagram.com/p/CIVHRmHA5fY/?igshid=1vrkn8v6iyml5

"IT'S A SAILORS LIFE FOR ME" . It was noon and the sun was high. Max, his crew and I, where all taking shelter from the heat underneath a thick muslin cloth which dance above us in the breeze. . Max was the captain of a fishing boat, whom I had met only moments before and managed to persuade him to allow me to join them while that went fishing the following morning. . He's crew were a motley bunch and crazier than a coconut, but their loyalty was unrivalled, and were as close that any brothers could be. . . 📸 #Sony7ii 50mm 1/250 f4 . . . . . . . . . . . #accra #ghana #jamestown #fishermen #sailors #spicollective #peopleinframe #lifeframer #bbctravel #natgeoyourshot #nationalgeographic #travelphotography #everybodystreet #documentaryphotography #wanderlust #travelgram #ig_captures #passionpassport #natgeotravel #freedom #instatravel #african #lifeofadventure #sonyalpha #exploretocreate #gameoftones (at Ghana, Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH2bUrfAlEE/?igshid=1qcs0falq65kp

JAMESTOWN BOYS . A few kids heading to the beach of Jamestown, Accra, to play along the shore in the midday sun. . Located directly east of the Korle Lagoon, Jamestown and Usshertown are the oldest districts of Accra, Ghana and emerged as communities around the 17th century British James Fort and Dutch Ussher Fort on the Gulf of Guinea coast. . . . . . . . . . . #documentaryphotography #travelphotography #travel #beachvibes #beachlife #fishing #africa #westafrican #lifeofadventure #natgeotravel #peopleinframe #travelgram #exploremore #theglobewanderer #exploretocreate #sonyalpha #sonyphotography #sonyimages (at Ghana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC5cee9gnmr/?igshid=tghmxre4b9be

AFRiCAN WiLD OLiVE . Wild fires are a natural and common occurrence in South Africa. . Though, from the destruction caused, new life flourishes. Many plants species native to this dry habitats depend on the fires to germinate. . Here you can see the charred remains of an African Olive Tree and at the bottom, the new growth that has blossomed from the destruction. . 📸 Mamiya 645 AFD F10 @ 1/1000 Kodak 400TX . . . . . . . . . . #wildlife #olive #tree #africa #wildlifephotography #barefoot #wander #wanderlust #naturephotography #naturegram #naturelover #nomadlife #bbc #filmphotography #mamiya #mamiya645 #kodak #keepitwild #discoverearth #theglobewanderer #natgeoyourshot #natgeolandscape (at Valley Of Desolation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCbZ9DRgmlw/?igshid=1251f7iz2q2s5

SUNRISE on the KLEIN KAROO . Just weeks before lockdown, I was fortunate enough to have had a trip back home to South Africa. I planned a special trip, as it was my partner, @lailacarmichael first trip to the country. I tried to include as many places which held a special place in my heart, and the semi desert region known as the Klein Karoo is most definitely on of them. This shot was taken one morning as we were camped off of the R63.

🌴 B E A C H L I F E 🌴 This shot was taken at the coastal village of Cape Three Points. The main vocation for the men in this village is fishing, and in this shot you witness an average morning for the youngsters, as they sit and wait for the boats to come back in with the mornings catch. It amazes me how immersed each of the children are in what they are doing. 📸 Shot on a @Mamiya AFD+ w/ @kodak Tmax 400 800/s f 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . @mamiya_magazine #travelphotography #travelghana #ghana #filmisnotdead #kodak #mamiya645 #documentlife #documentaryphotography #igdaily #ig_captures #photooftheday #beachlife #beach #fishinglife #coastalliving #goodvibes @escape3points @natgeoyourshot @natgeo #traveller #bbctravel #africa #bw_lover #bnw_magazine #bnwphotography (at Ghana, Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAsIt_qA_-z/?igshid=nv77gc9neslm
