African photography, interestingly, began its journey not too long after the invention of the art form in Europe in the mid-1800’s. What, however, made photography in Africa so unique was that the early practitioners were not African and neither was the subject matter being produced, done for the local African audience. However, in the last decade or so, the sleeping giant has awoken! There is a n
ew wind sweeping the Continent, and the world of photography is not being left behind. Our African brothers and sisters are taking the reigns over what they consider to be their voice, their face, their lives. African photographers are now behind the lens and telling their own story! We are launching a magazine that seeks to capture this new voice and share it with the world! It is to be a collaborative endeavor with a variety of industry practitioners contributing to each quarterly digital issue.
