PHOTOMAIL FROM GHANA WITH LOVE: POSTCROSSING

For over a year, I’ve been living in Accra, Ghana. Although I manage the revenue & marketing departments of a luxury hotel, living in this part of Africa is a continuous source of great photographic shots.

Apart from being a serial expat and a passionate photographer, I am also a philately maniac. Thus – I thought- why not combine it all? I decided to release some of my newest artworks via post, sent from Ghana to all over the world (which is easier said than done).

I call it my ‘Photo Mail’ and I distribute it mainly through postcrossing or upon request.

Due to the hardship of its journey form Africa, receiving my Photo Mail has stirred quite some interest. Furthermore, each design is a limited edition, making it rare, collectable and tradeable.
However, my Photo Mail is original and valuable only if it has stamps, cancels and my official ‘VS’ seal.

If you’re on Postcrossing, you may be lucky to get one in your mail box. Otherwise, feel free to reach out to me!

FEATURED ON EXPLORING STAMPS EPISODE

Having been an expat around the world for ten years, a photographer and a philately enthusiast, I decided to create my ‘Mail Photography’. At the moment I live in Ghana and I sent a postcard to Graham, star of the increasingly popular Exploring Stamp Youtube series. Almost unbelievably, my postcard travelled all the way from Accra and arrived safely in New Jersey. Resultantly, my mail photography was featured on an Exploring Stamps episode, which you can watch below.

NEW: COMBINING PHOTOGRAPHY & PHILATELY

Having been ab expat around the world for ten years, a photographer and a philately enthusiast, I decided to create my ‘Mail Photography’.

I send my photographic artworks by mail; they can be collected, traded, purchased and sold like any other artwork.
Some photographs are common as they have been sent to several people. Others are rare.

Sometimes their rarity and value change pending on the extraordinary things that happen during their travels via mail across the globe. Basically they are like stamps and contain stamps!

Some people purchase them directly from me and I send them via mail, others are lucky to get one in their mailbox via postcrossing for free.

My mail photography is original and valuable only if it has stamps, cancels and my official ‘VS’ logo.

Contact me if you’d like to receive one. At the moment I live in Ghana, making the postcard even more interesting!
