Ghanaian-American photographer, Akwasi Boakye Bofah, fondly hailed in the photography and creative arts circles as CamerasAllOver has served a New Year message to all who patronise the services of cameramen and cinematographers to give them good offers in terms of remuneration.
Considering the photography work as a more skillful and demanding work, he advised customers to make the year more lucrative for the cameramen.
He underscored the need for photographers to passionately bring out the happiness in their clients by giving them memorable pictures that would ignite their moods.
According to the popular photographer, it was very important for cameramen to accurately tell the story of their clients in a more fascinating way, in order to ignite their sense of hope and positivity.
The adorable lens man who has been trending on social media handles as CamerasAllOver ascertained the need to impact lives with lenses by capturing insightful moments at whatever occasion it may be and practise the profession as an art.
CamerasAllOver, who has gained recognition in the “DMV” (District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia), reiterated the significance of mesmerising one’s state of emotion with the final picture shown.
He observed that, photography must exude the confidence of the client and exhibit love in them through the occasion at which the photo was captured.
“The client must have a beaming experience which may forever linger on their minds and bring out their potentials through the confidence exhibited,” the sensational photographer stressed.
The Travel Photographer who has been capturing spectacular images with his lenses has over the years taken over millions of photos on travel expeditions, outdoor and indoor events.
CamerasAllOver mentioned that, he would have a mentoring session soon to give professional advice and empowerment to budding photographers and all photo enthusiasts to perform well in their photography prospects.

The iconic lens man commended all photographers across the continent for doing a good job with their cameras as a means of telling stories to impact societies and the world at large.

After years of development, funding, and creative grit, Ghanaian feature film “Ego Reach We All” has earned an official nomination to make its world premiere at the 79th Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland this month.
Formerly titled Vagabonds, the 105-minute drama was written and directed by Amartei Armar and produced by Yemoh Ike.
It marks one of the biggest international breakthroughs for Ghanaian cinema in recent years.
The film was shot entirely in Ghana with a Ghanaian cast and crew, grounding it in authentic local culture.
Post-production was completed in France, a collaboration that Director Amartei Armar says reflects the film’s spirit, “A Ghanaian story told with the world.”
The journey began in 2018 when the short film version won at the Montreal World Film Festival, an Oscar-qualifying event.
From there, ‘Ego Reach We All’ grew into a full-length feature backed by some of the most respected names in global film development: Winner – Cannes Focus CoPro, Recipient – Red Sea Development Fund, Honoree – Red Sea Souk Award and Backed by – Red Sea Productions Fund.
Industry watchers have called it one of the most promising African film projects to emerge in the last decade.
Beyond awards, the project was shaped in top international labs.
Armar was selected for the Heyazah Screening Lab in Doha, Qatar, to refine the film’s narrative.
Producer, Yemoh Ike joined the prestigious, 2023 EAVE Producers Programme under a CNC scholarship, with training sessions in Luxembourg, Austria, and the Netherlands.
Most recently, the film was chosen for the 2025 Atlas Workshop in Marrakesh, Morocco, cementing its place in global cinema circles.
Casts include, Idrissu Tontie, Dorothy Adobea Tandoh, Emmanuel Wilberforce, Barbara Yong Jin, Emmanuel Owusu Ofori, O’Bryan Kwame Enyan, Gabriel Narh Addo, Nelly Bilson, and Kwame Brenya.
For the team, Locarno is not just a festival slot. It’s validation that Ghanaian stories, told by Ghanaians, can compete on the world’s most respected stages.
“Principal photography was done entirely by Ghanaian creatives,” the producers noted.
