AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Sory Sanlé is a Burkinabé photographer, born in 1943 in Nianiagara in the Republic of Upper Volta.
Ibrahima Sanlé Sory arrived in Bobo-Dioulasso in 1957. Having become a journalist and photographer, he also produced sleeve illustrations for records.
He opened his Volta Photo studio in 1962, at the moment his country gained independence. He bought a Rolleiflex 6×6, and began by taking identity photographs and photographs of road accidents for the local police.
Quickly, he gained notoriety in Bobo-Dioulasso, which was then the cultural and economic capital of the former Upper Volta, where young Africans “hungry for modernity” came “to have their portraits taken.”
Carried out between 1960 and 1985, his photographic work “testifies to the happiness of a regained freedom and to a social and cultural effervescence unique of its kind.”
