Synopsis
In the small fishing towns of Ghana the photographer's studio is the place to go and get "snapped". Here you can wear the latest fashion or pose in a grand setting with a long lost friend. So everybody will remember you at your best and later the photograph might be used to help create a cement tomb sculpture or a life-size painting on your grave. The studio is an essential part of people's life and reputation.
