Photographer Ron Timehin discusses a standout image from his documentary project in Labadi, Accra, featuring five local community members and a horse against a ruined farm building. The project, commissioned by My Runway Group, aims to move away from traditional documentary tropes by portraying West African communities in a collaborative, dignified, and elegant manner.
This work marks a significant milestone for Timehin, earning him a shortlist spot for the Sony World Photography Awards 2026. The project bridges the UK and Ghana through cultural exchange and includes upcoming exhibitions at Somerset House and Noho Galleries, with proceeds from print sales intended to fund a new art center for the local community in Labadi.
