We recently had the pleasure of working with the very talented Togolese artist, Amigoe Duiedonné. He had asked us to make a short multimedia bio for the opening of his current exhibition at Alliance Française, here in The Gambia, West Africa; which, coincidentally, is the same venue we exhibited ‘Photos Tell Stories – Images of The Gambia by Gambians‘

VIVA CUBA! Images by Jason Florio

We couldn’t let recent news events go by without a nod to Cuba – a momentous benchmark in history, whatever the outcome…

Traveling through Ghana, West Africa – photo assignment

For the past week or so, we’ve been hard at work in the field – quite literally, most of the time! – on assignment for, NGO, Concern Universal. It’s been an incredible experience, and it is always a pleasure to work with CU’s team of extremely dedicated, and passionate, project managers. And, of course, all the people we met, Jason photographed, and we interviewed, along the way, have made this assignment one of our most memorable experiences.

We’ve also knocked up a few 1000km’s traversing beautiful, and diverse, Ghana (big thanks to Daniel, our CU driver, for getting us around the country so efficiently – and with speed!) – starting in Accra, in the South, to Ashanti, Brong Ahafo, and into Wa, in the Northern region.

Here is just a smattering of images… we’ll have more to share in the coming week or so. Right now, we are relaxing – much needed – post-assignment, in the lush surroundings of La Paradise Inn, in Osu district, back in Accra.
