Describe the emergence of photography in Africa. How did images of Africa taken by African photographers differ from those of their European counterparts?
What will be an ideal response?
Photography arrived in Africa less than a year after its invention in 1839. European explorers brought cameras to document their trips, and soon African artists began taking photographs. Photographs taken by Africans show the culture as they saw it, free from outside stereotypes. European photographers often turned their African subjects into exotic specimens for curious European viewers, whereas African photographers represented their subjects with dignity and respect for their culture.
