After the last edition of talk show programme, CNN African Voices, dedicated to female fashion icons driving the runways around the globe, this week’s episode will profile photographers who are influencing the continent behind the scenes using their cameras.
According to a statement by the programme sponsors, Globacom, the special guests to be featured on the programme, whose theme is “Through the Lens”, include Gerald Rambert of Mauritius, Omar Victor Diop of Senegal and Adnen Chaouchi of Tunisia.
Rambert will introduce viewers to the world of deep sea photography. He discloses how his big passion for the fish and the sea led him to spending hours in the water and finally to underwater photography. He is today the photographer for many magazines.
Diop, a graduate of the Paris Business School, has worked for several corporate organisations before ditching the corporate world to pursue a career in photography. Viewers will find out how he is blurring the lines between photography and painting.
Lastly, African Voices will parade journalist and radio host, Chaouchi, who CNN said is changing the way news is consumed through mobile journalism. He is expected to talk about how he combines his job as a journalist with TV production.
