Seydou Keïta: A Tactile Lens

Seydou Keïta captured Bamako's soul through his lens in the 1950s. His studio portraits radiate dignity, style, and quiet intimacy: subjects posed with props they loved, dressed in their finest, creating timeless images of everyday Malians embracing modernity on their own terms.
