Ghana Captured by Ebeneza Blanche

Ghana Captured by Ebeneza Blanche

After working and gaining experience within the film and music video industry Ebeneza found himself trapped in a routine and inside his comfort zone. His transition to Super 8 pushed his craft and artistry to a place where he could experiment with traditional shooting.

“... people can live the happiest life with less.”
As a member of the diaspora, Ebeneza believes that it’s important to show a true perspective of Africa. “In history, there were many great kings and queens that came before us that originated from Africa. Africa has many great historic moments. I believe this has not been put to light as much in contrast to the amount of charity campaigns I see on commercials of Africa needing support”.

“Africa isn’t just a place of poverty, but a land of opportunities, which is also rich in culture and nature...”

On the Year of Return, Ebeneza is “really glad that people are starting to notice that Africa isn’t just a place of poverty, but a land of opportunities, which is also rich in culture and nature. The year of Return will help create a better economy and help change the perception of Africa”.
