FOCUS: Derrick O Boateng From Ghana, the iPhone photographer

Photography, the art or practice of taking and processing photographs has gone through several changes in Ghana. Once upon time in the country, the family takes a picture when the neighborhood photographer comes around.

The art of taking pictures has changed so drastically that, now, people use mobile phones to take some very beautiful pictures. 

From the film era to memory cards to now mobile phones shows that photography will always be dynamic. 

Talking of dynamic, our OnePlay FOCUS is on a young Ghanaian photographer who became an iPhone photographer through Instagram.
