Diego Asamoa – a Ghanaian Photographer

Interviewed by Medina Shala

Where are you from? Where do you live and work now?

Where do I come from? Where do we all come from? Some say the stars haha. Geographically, Iโ€™m currently ย somewhere in Accra, Ghana at the moment however I move around a bit.

How did you get started in photography?

I guess I just went with my heart. Thereโ€™s a part inside me thatโ€™s drawn to visual expression.

How would you describe your work?

I donโ€™t much like to describe my work. I create it, I let the world have it and it connects to those it connects to.

ย 

How do you educate yourself to take better photos?

I shoot from the heart.

What type of cameras do you shoot with?

I always wonder why people ask about cameras like itโ€™s the camera doing the work. A picture goes beyond the camera. Cameras are tools. I use a few of them.

ย 

Who are some of your favourite photographers and artists?

If I tell you, Iโ€™d have to โ€œshootโ€ you. Come to my next show youโ€™ll see.

What is the most rewarding part of being a photographer for you?

In the medium of photography, Iโ€™d say the magic of teleporting people into moments.
