Inspired by the richness of the African lifestyle, Derrick’s contemporary photography aims to influence the world’s perception of Africa and its art, often viewed through a limited lens in film and media. Through art, Derrick is inspired to represent the colour beauty and visual poetry of everyday African culture, lifestyles and behaviors thereby “changing the story that is told of Africa.” Though taken in Ghana, Derrick believes that the intimate images he captures are representation of life anywhere on the continent. Derrick started creating his colorful and soulful images, shooting on his father’s iPhone, and editing his photos with Photoshop, Picsart, VSCO, and the internal iPhone image editing tool. His creative approach to photography is methodically concepted and self-produced, and finally finished with his editing process.
