Cameroonian Photographer: JOSEPH ETA

Joseph Eta was brought up at the foot of Mount Cameroon in full view of blue-blossomed jacaranda trees with the sun as his timekeeper. Joe’s childhood in Africa continues to hugely influence his photography. Now inspired by the different ways of living and communicating in diverse environments, Joe’s photography aims to redress the balance of how people interact with – and respect -the natural world.

In many urbanized environments in the West, people spend more time indoors; nature is slowly retreating from people’s daily life. Joe’s photography aims to bring the natural world back into people’s living environment. To create a window-on-a-wall that frames intense, beautiful
