Ghanaian photographer Philip Kwame Apagya's relentlessly upbeat images of people at play and at rest. Using specially commissioned painted backdrops, the studio portraits depict (literally) the subjects' fantasies and desires. More often than not, these include new televisions or stereos and refrigerators full of fancy food. I like the ones showing less tangible ideals: a picnic on a well-kept lawn, or one's first adventure to the big city.
