Mawuli Tofah

Born in Keta in the Volta region of Ghana. Raised in Swaziland in its capital Mbabane and in South Africa during the period of the apartheid. My passion for photography and sound grew from childhood through high school oh his return to Ghana after. Mawuli enrolled at the National Film and Television Institute (NAFTI), Ghana which provided him with enriching opportunities that helped, developed his skills in photography, filmmaking and sound production.
A Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in film sound production. I have ever since my graduation worked with the New York University, Accra in the Department of Art and Art Professions as a teaching assistant for the Projects in Photography and Post Colonial Practice in studio arts and alongside worked as a Freelance Photographer. I have shot for Courier International (Spain) and Sunday Times in the UK and worked as a Film sound engineer and filmmaker in Ghana and abroad. Mawuli has been nominated in 2012 and 2013 for the Ghana movie awards in the category of sound mixing and editing. I am inspired to compose by the contrast of light and dark, while I use the changing light of day to arouse the mood of my dreams. For me, Photography is a means of expressing myself to the world and especially to those around me.
