My friendship with Solomon N. N. Tetteh began where most people meet nowadays, Instagram, but he is anything but ordinary. I had a few leisure days in Ghana after my time in Togo so I reached out to a few local photographers hoping that one in particular would reply. Solomon’s exceptional work speaks for itself but who is he is outside of photography is what sets him apart. He is a deeply devoted man to God and he is one of the most genuine people I have ever met. We walked and talked through the streets of Accra as if we’d be friends for years and took some of my favorite shots ever. I interviewed my friend so that you all could get to know him as well.

1. What are your favorite subjects to shoot?

I have a number of them: Portraits, Nature & Lifestyle photography, but my go to favorite & successful ones would be Children photography.

There are so much beautiful places and wonderful people to always shoot with here. Its special for me probably because of the opportunities that present themselves here to be documented and shared across the world festivals, occasions, landscapes, etc.
