The writer and author Kwame Stephens has a day job. Like many artists who prefer to self finance their art form (I immediately thought of Charles Bukowski who was a letter filing clerk in the US post office), Kwame prefers full control over his time and art form. His roots are in Ghana but he traveled across the continent in his youth, following his father's posts and assignments. As a writer, he is focused on two communities, African and gay. Sometimes both at the same time. The first distinctive thing I noticed is how perceptive he is. And by his own admission, very curious, surely the necessary tools of the author's craft. It therefore was not hard to capture his penetrating gaze as evident from a couple of the portraits presented here.
