A striking photographic testimonial to the people of Tierra del Fuego, a society defined by magic, spirits, and communion with nature

The book explores the groundbreaking contributions of James Barnor, a London-based Ghanaian photographer known for his vibrant and evocative imagery. It highlights his unique perspective and the cultural significance of his work, showcasing how he captured the essence of life in Ghana and the diaspora. Through a selection of photographs, the survey reflects on Barnor's influence on contemporary photography and his role in documenting social and political changes in both Ghana and the UK.

A mini-monograph on the work of Samuel Fosso, the renowned Cameroon-born Nigerian photographer. Samuel Fosso is one of Central Africa’s leading contemporary photographers, whose playful and perceptive work investigates Pan-African identity and history through the use of portraiture. Fosso found his path to art-making through his early work as a commercial portrait photographer, using his leftover film to capture self-portraits against well-considered backdrops and incorporating pose, costume, and props. Renowned for his “autoportraits”―styling himself and others as characters from popular culture or politics―Fosso reflects the world around him through a distinct aesthetic that has at times defied Nigerian dictatorial decree. Fosso’s work is now held in museum collections such as the Museum of Modern Art and the Tate, among many others, and he was the recipient of the Prince Claus Award of the Netherlands. Samuel Fosso , a new title in the renowned Photofile series, exhibits Fosso’s photographic opus through sixty full-page reproductions in a handsome and collectible pocket format. 60 illustrations
