Paulina Opoku-Gyimah says: Wow… I don’t know what to say, I’m loving the above photographs of Accra, Ghana’s sexy skyline, hotspots, famous landmarks and must visit high-end restaurants by Charles Charles Lawson who works under the name Montage. His crisp clean, precise, somewhat sexy photographs of Accra, Ghana's ever changing skyline has me hooked, I want more…  He also has a couple of truly fabulous images of Kumasi that you should check out via his FB (details below).
 
Charles Lawson’s ability to capture Accra at its best is to be applauded. His confident, fresh, striking images of Ghana’s capital should be used by Ghana’s Tourist Authority –and beyond because they are epic and hit-the-mark and make Accra pop like never before.

I’m very excited about these images and would like to work with Charles Lawson in the near future. For more info, to book Charles Lawson or to keep up with all his photographic happenings visit his Montage page on FB via: https://www.facebook.com/MontageGh and his tumblr page via: http://mon-tage-gh.tumblr.com/
