It is time for photographers to take the centre stage and in this week’s edition of the Globacom-sponsored African Voices on CNN International, it is all about the photographers that are influencing the continent through the lens of their cameras.
Aptly themed, ‘Through the Lens,’ the 30-minute programme would feature ace African photographers like Gerald Rambert of Mauritius, Omar Victor Diop of Senegal and Adnen Chaouchi of Tunisia.
The CNN crew would take a dive with the Mauritian photographer, Rambert, as he introduces viewers to the world of deep sea photography. He would speak on how his passion for the fish and the sea led him to underwater photography; today, he is the photographer for many magazines.
As for Senegalese photographer, Omar Diop; the graduate of the Paris Business School worked in several multinationals before dumping his white-collar job to devote himself to photography. Viewers will find out how he is blurring the lines between photography and painting.
The final guest on the programme is a journalist and radio host who CNN said is changing the way news is consumed through mobile journalism. He is expected to talk about how he combines his job as a journalist with television production.
