Kwabena Ofori-Darkwa is a self-taught Ghanaian photographer whose work is based on concepts focusing on nature and its relation and significance to humanity as part of a personal quest to seek deeper understanding on various aspects of life as has been found.

  Born in Koforidua, Ghana before relocating to Lusaka, Zambia in early childhood, it is at the latter where he discovered his love for nature coupled with vivid early childhood memories of the countryside landscapes from his home village in Ghana which inspired him to take up photography. It is therefore only natural that concepts surrounding nature and landscape in a fine art form would be the centre of his focus.

  Through these concepts he aims to relay and provoke a certain level of positive energy, serenity and peace that nature offers especially to those who are challenged with emotional indifference and to counter a wave of negativity and cynicism that seeps our societies. Inadvertently, my photography has also taken the role of documenting the change in distinct places due to rapid human development as well as expounding a certain pride in the African landscape from among those who inhabit it.
