Listen Later

In this episode of Black Shutter Podcast, we sit down with photographer Sianeh Kpukuyou (@AskPhotos) to explore the power of perspective, storytelling, and representation in photography. Sianeh shares her journey from discovering photography through a Canon 6D gift to tackling issues of colorism, identity, and societal beauty norms in her work. She breaks down the challenges of access to equipment in Ghana, how restrictions fuel creative innovation, and the importance of respectful engagement with people to create authentic moments.

We also dive into her viral success, her approach to documenting everyday life in Ghana, and how her projects challenge stereotypes about African youth, beauty, and femininity. From nostalgic cultural symbols to thought-provoking fashion photography, Sianeh’s work is a testament to the power of Black storytelling through the lens. Tune in for an inspiring conversation on art, culture, and the future of African photography.
