ABOUT

The AFRO – THIS IS AFRICA! Blog is a continent-wide photoblog of contemporary images of African life, taken from the perspective of everyday Africans. These could range from photographs of urban life in Johannesburg to the deserts of Morocco via the music bars of Bamako and span categories such as portraits, fashion, work, music, street life, architecture, landscape, transport and history. The list is endless! And so are the possibilities…

We would like the blog to be as diverse and representative of Africa as possible. Do you have a camera or a camera phone? Is there something interesting about the place you live in? Local music or fancy fashions? Do you have some old photographs you want to share? Post them to the THIS IS AFRICA! Blog. It is free and easy… All you need is a camera or a camera phone, access to the Internet and something to show the world about Africa…
