Sory Sanlé, Lecteurs d'Europe 1 au Studio, 1974.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Stamped and signed.
Sory Sanlé is a Burkinabé photographer, born in 1943 in Nianiagara in the Republic of Upper Volta.
Ibrahima Sanlé Sory arrives in Bobo-Dioulasso in 1957. Having become a journalist and photographer, he also produces sleeve illustrations for records.
He opens his Volta Photo studio in 1962, as his country gains independence. He buys a Rolleiflex 6×6, and begins by taking identity photographs and photographs of road accidents for the local police.
Rapidly, he gains notoriety in Bobo-Dioulasso, which was then the cultural and economic capital of the former Upper Volta, and where young Africans, eager for modernity, come to have their portraits taken.
Produced between 1960 and 1985, his photographic work bears witness to the happiness of a regained freedom and to a social and cultural effervescence unique in its kind.
