Description from the seller
Silver print - Signed
Sanlé Sory is a Burkinabé photographer, born in 1943 in Nianiagara in the Republic of Haute-Volta.
Ibrahima Sanlé Sory arrived in Bobo-Dioulasso in 1957. Having become a journalist and photographer, he also creates illustrations for record covers.
He opened his studio, Volta Photo, in 1962, as his country gained independence. He bought a Rolleiflex 6×6 and started by taking identity photographs and road accident photographs for the local police.
Quickly, he gains notoriety in Bobo-Dioulasso, which was then the cultural and economic capital of former Haute-Volta, where young Africans 'eager for modernity' come to 'have their portrait taken.'
Produced between 1960 and 1985, his photographic work testifies to the happiness of a freedom regained and to a social and cultural effervescence unique in its kind.
