Ron Timehin captures daily life at Labadi resort in Accra, Ghana

Ron Timehin photographed a scene at Labadi, a tourist resort in Accra, Ghana, aiming to depict the local community's daily activities. The image shows five Ghanaians with a horse in front of a ruined farm building, featuring a Ghanaian flag on the side. Timehin wanted to portray how residents fish using traditional canoes, rest, and play, contrasting with typical tourist experiences focused on golden sand and nightlife. He noted that Africans are not often shown in this manner in documentary photography. The horse, kept by the community for carrying equipment, adds elegance and majesty to the composition. The photograph was taken at Labadi, a popular tourist destination in Ghana's capital. Timehin appreciated the door on the ruined building as symbolizing freedom from walls. The flag serves as a nod to place and heritage. He described the scene as a beautiful set that pulls together various elements of local life.
