'Get the equipment to start work, love the work and make it worth your while, because I wouldn't change it for anything.' - James Barnor, at 91 years old.
James Barnor moved to Britain from Ghana in 1959. With over six decades of experience, he is cited as being one of the most influential African photographers of all time. His portraits of people in London played a key role in documenting Black women and men who, in the post-war period, had immigrated to Britain from African countries. Barnor's famous photographs capture the mood and fashion of the ‘Swinging Sixties' in the UK and Ghana from a uniquely Black perspective.
Barnor's photography is on display in Sixty Years: The Unfinished Conversation at Tate Britain. 📷 Explore the display in today's story, or visit, free, before April 2023.
