Year behind the camera
Typical first-look turnaround
Events covered
Nine disciplines, one person.
Portraits are the spine of it. The weddings, the graduations, the culture work — all the same eye pointed at a different day. Then the same day again, in motion and from the air.
Portrait & Headshots
Portraits for people, teams and the profiles they actually live on, shot wherever the light is right. Lit properly, retouched lightly.
- Indoors or on location
- Same-day selects
- Web & print crops
Beauty & Fashion
Editorial beauty with controlled light and colour — gels, hard shadow, whatever the concept asks for.
- Gelled & hard light
- Skin kept real
- Concept-led
Weddings
Documentary coverage from preparation to the last dance, with a portrait set that doesn't hold the day up.
- Full-day coverage
- Second shooter option
- Album-ready files
Graduation & Milestones
The frames families keep. A clean backdrop, gown and stole, or somewhere on campus that means something.
- Backdrop or campus
- Family group sets
- Print-ready files
Culture & Editorial
Street, music and cultural work — frames that need a point of view rather than a clean background.
- Documentary approach
- Editorial licensing
- On location
Events & Location
Launches, birthdays and brand days, covered wherever the work takes us across Ghana and beyond.
- Half or full day
- Fast turnaround
- Travel on request
Videography
Motion for the days that deserve it. Ceremony films, brand pieces and social cutdowns, shot and cut by the same person who shoots the stills.
- Ceremony & brand films
- Vertical social cuts
- Colour-graded delivery
Aerial & Drone
The shot that shows where you were. Venues from above, establishing frames for a film, and estate or event coverage no ladder reaches.
- Venue & estate aerials
- Establishing shots
- Stills and motion
Documentary
Longer-form work, shot the way it happened. Projects followed over days or months, cut into something worth sitting through.
- Multi-day shoots
- Interview & observational
- Edit and grade included

Accra, Ghana
Faces from one city, and wherever the work sends us next.
Light does the work.The camera just records it.
Every frame here was lit on purpose — a hard shadow through a blind, a red gel across the eyes, or the last twenty minutes of sun on a beach. Nothing gets fixed in post that could have been fixed on set.
Four steps, no surprises on the invoice.
You sign off a shoot plan before anyone turns up. Everything after that is execution against it.
- 01
Brief
A short call or the booking form. We agree the deliverables, the look and where the images will run before anything is quoted.
- 02
Direction
References, styling notes and a lighting plan. For location work that includes a scout and a fallback if the weather turns.
- 03
Shoot day
Runs to the plan, and you see selects on the back of the camera as we go, so nothing is a surprise later.

Edit & handover
First-look gallery in 48 hours, final retouched set within the package window, delivered in a private gallery with per-channel crops.
What clients actually said.
We booked Dee for leadership headshots and ended up sending the whole team. Everyone still looks like themselves — nobody got airbrushed into someone else. That sounds small until you have had to reshoot a leadership page.

Twelve hours, two venues, and not one moment where we felt managed. The gallery landed on the Tuesday and my mother has already printed four of them.

I have shot with a lot of people for campaign work. Dee is the only one who sends a lighting plan before the day and then actually shoots it.

Retouching, turnaround and what to wear, mostly. If yours isn't here, the assistant in the corner has a longer memory than this list.
Enough to clean up a distraction, never enough to change who someone is. Stray hairs, a temporary blemish, a crease in the backdrop — those go. Bone structure, skin texture and the shape of a face stay exactly as they are. If you want something heavier than that, say so at brief stage and it gets quoted as a separate retouch pass.
A first-look gallery of unretouched selects reaches you within 48 hours of the shoot. The final retouched set follows in five working days. Wedding galleries take a little longer at ten to fourteen days, simply because there are more frames. Rush delivery inside 24 hours is available as an add-on.
Solid colours photograph better than busy patterns, and matte fabrics better than shiny ones. Bring two or three options and we will pick on the day against the light we actually have. For teams, a shared colour family reads more consistent than a strict uniform. A styling note goes out with every booking confirmation.
You get a licence, Dee keeps the copyright — that is standard for commissioned work. Every package includes a non-exclusive, non-transferable personal-use licence: keep the files, print them, post them on your own accounts. Commercial use — advertising, brand promotion, paid social, billboards, anything a third-party brand runs — is not included as standard and is quoted separately, based on where it runs, for how long and at what scale. Say so before you book and it gets priced with the rest. RAW files are not part of any package unless the package says so.
Anywhere within 30 km of Accra is included in the package price. Beyond that it is ₵6.00 per kilometre, or flights and accommodation at cost where an overnight is needed. Weddings outside Greater Accra are quoted individually — send the dates and venue and it gets worked up properly.
Indoor work is unaffected. For location shoots the call gets made by 6pm the evening before: either we move to the next agreed slot at no charge, or we shoot it anyway with a covered backup location in the plan. Overcast is flattering light for portraits, so it is far less often a problem than people expect.
Tell me who you are shooting.You'll have a quote inside a day.
The booking form takes about two minutes and gets you a firmer number than a phone call would. If you'd rather just talk it through, the line is open Mon–Sat, 9:00–18:00 GMT.
