My name is Ofoe Amegavie, I am 26 years of age and a photographer from Ghana.
I got into photography about 3 years ago. It started as a means to distract myself from school and the stress it came with as I wasn’t doing a course art related,but rather, pursuing a degree in Port and Shipping Administration. After school, I picked it up as a full time occupation and so started my story.
My work is not boxed up. I shoot based on how I feel at that moment, what I see or what I am being paid to shoot. I tend to shoot a series with a running theme when doing my own projects. I like the vintage, textured feel to my photos and I am biased to shoot people with natural hair who I see as very fresh and cool. I just run wild with my imagination and my feelings and find the best way to express it through my photos. I like black and white photos very much because I find color to be a bit of a distraction sometimes.
