Ghanian-British photographer James Barnor says he is proud of his documentation of Ghana's history.
The 92-year-old captured photos during Ghana's independence and has seen several different administrations come to power.
"I have recorded a lot of changes in people, in life, in politics, in governance," he told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme.
He remembers photographing Ghana's founding father Kwame Nkrumah during independence.
"If I hadn't capture those things they would have been lost so today I'm happy I made some contribution," he said.
The photographer captures his life in the UK in his new exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in the Kensington Royal park entitled James Barnor/Accra/London - a Retrospective.
This fascinating history drawn from his huge archive focuses on the decades 1950-80 - the pinnacle of his career.
His 32,000-image archive was recently digitised, allowing him to revisit his pictures with fresh eyes.
