Besides being a portraitist, Barnor was a photojournalist and photographed prominent figures such as Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana?s first leader following its independence; Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent; and Vice-President Richard Nixon among others. In the 1960s, Barnor relocated to London, where he pursued future studies in photography and settled down, and during this period, he was also contributing to Drum magazine. His contribution to the magazine helped to reconceive the standard for the delicate representation of Black beauty, grace and style.
