Renowned Ghanaian Fashion photographer James Barnor has captured over 50 years on film. Starting out in Ghana, he was the first photojournalist for the British-formed newspaper The Daily Graphic and later pioneered the first color photo lab to Ghana.

Barnor later moved to London amidst the swinging sixties to capture the African diaspora. Below are a few photos from Barnor’s exhibit Ghana – A Heritage Ever Young that bring the past to life.
