Jude's journey as a self-taught photographer began with stories from his grandfather about Ghana's colonial period, sparking his interest in documentary photography. His project, 'Land of the Morees', showcases intimate glimpses of life in the town of Moree, highlighting the warmth and openness of its residents. Through dynamic snapshots, he aims not only to preserve personal and cultural histories but also to support the community by directing proceeds from his art back to the people. His work reflects a deep sense of connection and gratitude to those who embraced him.
As Jude came to know the townspeople over the years, the initial divide between photographer and participants all but faded; openness and sense of belonging steered Jude's image making.
Captured in his dynamic snapshots of daily life are the people that warmly welcomed him into their world; children venturing close to the lens with broad grins.
Land of the Morees is one project in an ongoing photographic practice that continues to explore the documentation of personal and cultural history from Ghana and beyond.
Jude's aim is to support the community in practical ways, whether that's through providing resources, assisting with local projects, or simply giving back to the people.
