Aboya walking some lovers through his works
Art enthusiasts, photographers and creatives over the weekend graced Ghanaian fine-art and fashion photographer, Michael Aboya’s maiden edition of Stories at BEADS at the Ako-Adjei Park.
Beyond Excellence Artist Development Space (BEADS) is a dynamic community, bringing together emerging and established artists, creators and art enthusiasts under one roof.
The photo exhibition was a platform for young creatives to pick lessons and inspiration from ace creatives through their works and career paths.
According to the photographer – recipient of the Best Portrait Photography Agora Images in 2020 in Spain – his inspiration came from family, books, documentaries and society thus helping him in his imaginative process as exposed by his camera.
Speaking to The Spectator at the event, the theme for the occasion ‘Journey to the 8’ was birthed after his dad’s demise, which spurred him to pursue his dreams of becoming a professional photographer.
“This is a story about my journey that never ends; a story that will always be told long after I’m gone. I stopped studying computer programming and used the little savings and funds I had to buy a Canon T3 camera with a Canon EF 70mm – 300mm lens.
“In early 2017, I started working as a full-time photographer, dedicated to learning and very importantly becoming a better version of myself,” he noted.
Michael Aboya’s images explore emotions, love and strength through composition, lighting, and subject matter. Today, these images tell stories that inspire, empower and connect with the viewer.
“I look forward to continuing the exploration of our humanity for many years to come by creating more images that tell the Ghanaian stories and cultures,” he said.
His hope for the future in photography within the country is for others to consume and value the worth and beauty of the career.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
