Shot on Location: Highlife, Ghana



For
Volume 18
of SUITCASE Magazine
(The Rhythm Issue) we visited destinations
that encouraged us to explore beyond our comfort zone. In this age
it is all too easy to exist within a bubble, and it’s important to
break free from the patterns we create for ourselves; to travel and
switch up the beat.

Our exploration took us to Ghana on the trail of highlife, a
vibrant genre of music that originated in the West African nation
in the 1930s. Photographer Ash Kingston and assistant Sam Wilson
shot model Mouna Fadiga on the country’s Cape Coast. Savannah Baker
styled Mouna in bold, printed outfits which contrasted with the
earthy colours of the landscape, with make up by Oonah
Anderson.
