🚀 On the Creative Highway!🎶✨

Experience the magic of the Ghana x France Songwriting Camp 2025—where beats dropped, lyrics flowed, and creativity knew no limits! From artist insights to studio vibes and an electrifying listening party, this was a week like no other.

Tap in and feel the energy—all in the time it takes to vibe to a song (crafted during the camp, of course!). 🎤🔥

Thanks to the artists and their teams:

MANJU x BURBERRY
.
For this month's Black History Month UK, MANJU @manjujournal tells a story of black identity in today’s Africa; the fragments of this identity and history shared across the continent in partnership with BURBERRY @burberry on the theme #Together&ONE.
Heeding inspiration from prolific photographers, Kwame Brathwaite & Philip Kwame Apagya, who have both respectively contributed to the empowerment of black beauty, movement and style!
.
Each image stands alone and within the collection, foregrounding and questioning the differing dynamics of class, wealth, mental health, education, motherhood and unity.
.
A huge Thank you to Riccardo Tisci @riccardotisci & the wonderful team at BURBERRY & MANJU.

New work.
.
Portrait + zooms of the very tall @kojoduncan_
.
Over the social media break, I found myself working with more and more new male models. Being 5ft 8 has never been so vexing 😂. A stool I got for one of the plants has become extra feet for me. But in all, It's been educational and fun.
.
Also switched things up and experimented with other genres of photography. Some are already on the website (www.aquartey.com) but over the next couple of weeks? Days? Months? I'll be sharing alot of these images here.

It's been a minute! But yeah I'm PRETTY stoked about this project. The fact that it was shot on film adds several layers of intrinsic value. And @sekyii eye IS marvelous. It was a pleasure working with everyone on this.
