Moving between Accra and London throughout his life, Barnor’s photographic portraits visibly map societies in transition: Ghana gaining independence from Britain, and London embracing the freedoms of the swinging sixties. He has said, \"I was lucky to be alive when things were happening . . . when Ghana was going to be independent and Ghana became independent, and when I came to England the Beatles were around. Things were happening in the sixties, so I call myself Lucky Jim.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.4285em; margin: 0px; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Fort-Book; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: -0.15000000596046448px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;\"\u003eBarnor’s photographs have been described as \"slices of history, documenting race and modernity in the post-colonial world,\" and he has been the subject of several major retrospectives over the last fifteen years.
