Nana Ama, London, Aug 2025, by Feruza Afewerki
I’m Nana Ama, a Ghanaian-British photographer, writer and creative from London.
What started out as an instinctive need to ask questions, has spiralled over the years into a steady practice of collaborating with or writing about artists, designers and cultural practitioners on themes of intersectionality, nostalgia, community, cultural heritage and identity.
I’ve written articles both digitally and in-print for Wallpaper*, Architectural Digest ME, Dazed, and MANJU Journal. I’ve also photographed several publicly programmed events with cultural Somerset House, Bow Arts, Barbican Centre, New Architecture Writers and co-produced creative projects with The Photographer’s Gallery London, Barbican Centre and more.
I also love languages, I speak English, Spanish, Italian fluently, some Twi and French, bringing a deeply communicative, empathetic and open mindset to the work I do.
Whether I’m behind the camera or with a pen in hand, I am driven by a need to make conversations in arts and culture feel more accessible, inclusive and expansive.
