In 2009 Apagya´s "White House" Photography from 1998 gets a new meaning.

(Unfortunately I haven´t found a larger image.)

The Artist was born in 1958, in Sekondi, Ghana.

After working in his father's photography studio, Apagya received a degree in Photojournalism and opened his own studio, P.K.'s Normal Photo Studio. His portraits of Africans are made in front of painted backgrounds displaying highly commercial and Western scenes.
