ABOUT
Broad sunlight highlights some of the key photographers active in West Africa to 1920. Comparatively well-known figures, like N. W. Holm and A. Lisk-Carew, appear alongside less familiar names, such as T. Hamilton Coleman and D. Olawale Labinjo. The book is illustrated with photographic materials collected by Michael Graham-Stewart over a number of years, including many seldom-seen images. Expansive, without being exhaustive, it is intended to support further exploration of the photographic cultures and histories associated with the vast but interconnected region of West Africa. Michael Graham-Stewart divides his time between London and Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland). His interests centre on the intersection of cultures, particularly in a historical context.
