“I first discovered Ghana when I came across the magnificent photos of Magnum Photographer Nikos Economopoulos. It made such an incredible impression on me that I promised myself that one day I would photograph in Ghana.

But now, with the Ghanaian economy on the rise, the youth can return to the search for better opportunities that their home country now provides them.”
