Reviving African Style Through Photography


It is not all about having the best equipment, or being fortunate enough to catch the best lighting of the day - great photography involves passion and innovation. A willingness to experiment to photograph something of worth plays a huge role in Jude Lartey's success, and the best part is - he takes all of his photos from his I-Phone 7! 

Growing up in Ghana, Africa - Jude is very interested in photographing and realizing his roots and reviving traditional African outfits in a more modern and approachable way. A way that can be understood across continents. 

Jude uses athletes as his models and draws on their strengths to bring a very unique appeal to his images. 

 

Jude works with a boxer as his model to create a 1950's inspired photo.

Jude mixes the colors of the Ghanaian flag to represent his country and the style of those who live there.
