Ghana's first full-time newspaper photographer in the 1950s and the pioneer of colour photography in the country, James Banor, is considered one of the most successful photographers to have emerged from Ghana. Born Frederick Seton James Banor, he has broken barriers and achieved numerous accolades throughout his career. He set up Ghana's first colour processing facilities in the 1970s when he returned to Ghana after spending a decade in England. From having his works exhibited in America, South Africa, Netherlands, France and Ghana, James Banor is one of few Ghanaian photographers to have their works highly recognised. He is well renowned for his street and studio photography work that captured Ghana moving towards independence and London becoming a multicultural metropolis.
