Ghanaian photographer James Barnor has been honored with the Outstanding Contribution to Photography award at the 20th edition of the Sony World Photography Awards. Recognized as the country's first photojournalist, Barnor captured Ghana's journey to independence in 1957 and established its first colour photography laboratory. His work, which spans continents and cultures, often features Black communities in Accra and London during times of significant change.
The retrospective of his work will be displayed at London's Somerset House in April 2027. Born in 1929, Barnor trained under his cousin and opened his studio in Accra in 1950, later moving to the UK in 1959 to further his photography skills. His portraits, spanning the 1950s to the 1970s, celebrated Black social life and his contributions have been showcased in numerous exhibitions and publications.
