‘It makes me feel light, happy and free’: Justin Attah Mensah’s best phone picture

The photographer and film-maker celebrates the beauty of brotherhood and male companionship

Brotherhood and male affection are rarely seen in a culture typically painted as hyper-masculine by the west," says Justin Attah Mensah, a film-maker and photographer from Accra, Ghana. This image showcases the beauty in this companionship, and celebrates it."

Mensah had travelled to Kokrobite beach, about an hour from Accra, for this photoshoot. In the foreground is ayoung model called Nii Sowah Laryea; behind him, amodel with albinism whom I have since lost touch with." He used an iPhone 7 Plus to take the photo, which he admits can bring limitations.
