Abdourahmane Sakaly, originally from Senegal, moved to Bamako in 1946 and opened a studio there ten years later. According to many Bamakois, Sakaly was the most renowned photographer in the city throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The photographer was the first president of the new photographers’ association, Groupement national des photographes professionels du Mali, founded in 1988, the year of his death.

It’s easy to take a photo, but what really made a difference was that I always knew how to find the right position, and I never was wrong. Their head slightly turned, a serious face, the position of the hands… I was capable of making someone look really good. The photos were always very good. That’s why I always say that it’s a real art.
