Storytelling and craft: Ejatu Shaw on her vision and our new features

In 2013, London-based photographer and multidisciplinary artist Ejatu Shaw found her passion for photography during a family trip to her native country, Sierra Leone. She was fascinated by the people she met and the environment she experienced, which inspired her to turn her memories into visual reflections. Over the years, Ejatu has experimented with self-portraiture. As her passion grew, she delved into more deeply-rooted projects, such as “Poly-” and “Teranga,” which allowed her to explore her heritage through her work. We were thrilled to join Ejatu at her recent photoshoot at Spring Studios in London, where she shared her journey with us and explained how our latest features have affected her workflow.

Update about the outage on Friday, April 14

To all of you who depend on us, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused by the outage affecting Capture One this past Friday, April 14. Empower photographers is one of our core values, and we could not deliver on that during the outage. We also wish we had been more open and timelier in communications on our website, noticeboard, and social media.
