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