About Sarkodie Photography<br />
Documenting true life with honesty, artistry and a sense of adventure. Drawing from<br />
experience while treating each day as a new creative opportunity. Fully prepared but open<br />
to embrace the unexpected.<br />
My passion for creative expression began with a love of drawing and led to a career in<br />
architecture. Photography was a creative outlet that soon became an all-consuming hobby<br />
and from 2011 my full-time occupation.<br />
I work in a way that’s friendly and unobtrusive, creating a relaxed environment, where I<br />
capture unguarded emotion and sincere interaction.<br />
I am the recipient of numerous awards at State and National level including AIPP silver<br />
awards and the NSW album of the year 2014.<br />
