Ama K Abebrese, the 2011 African Academy Movie Awards’ best actress recently was recently involved in a photo shoot as part of a campaign that uses fashion to highlight the amount of waste we have in our communities called ‘AdDress the Environment’.
I heard it is known as ‘contrast of fashionable glam against a waste dump background’. What you are thinking is right, that is a very huge ‘Borla…Is it a great shot or a miss? Are you feeling the photos?
Lol not working for her at all. She aint got the modeling in her.
@maame, lol she has to smize with her eyes and work it from h2t (head to toe) as tyra would say.
@jill, lmao she didn’t try at all
@jill,fuck tyra banks..there is nothing to smize about
I realy love the pix…. Maame pls come again.. I dont think this picture is suposed to be a modellin one.. The pix is an epitome of sheer brilliance.. luv it!
@hulk,ur eye gbele waa….
Great picture but was it not stinking out there ? Lol
OKAY SO I DONT LIKE THE FOTO.MAYBE ITS COS ITS BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A MODEL AND ALSO THE PHOTO SHOOT DIRECTOR DID A BAD JOB AT DIRECTING HER AS TO WHAT TO DO
miss she is not standing out enough and its not her fault they should have dressed her something high fashion couture like there is soo many nice stuff they do with ntoma these days. wordrope flopped
Love it fly girl
Good shots.Those are some very nice pictures. Ama looks very prettyful
a n interesting pose and background
Is she telling us that “borla” is a good thing? this is a same to Ghana. it looks like Ghanians enjoy dirt and filth
@Esi,Look as ones Desktop student which also deals in photography its creating sumthing out of nunthing so this picture doesnt tell anything abt ghanians enjoying dirt or filth.They jst wanted to give the picture tht kind of background.Which is nice.I love it.
These pics r not portraying anything 2 me. I guess it is a miss then!
even around borla u have ur swag on. i love this picture
Ama is young but she has tht old (opanyin) face
yea she’s ‘growing’ fast. @Naki,
This picture tells a story. A story that most of us can relate to back home. How ever dilapidated the environment might seem, the image still captures the thin ray of beauty that emerges from a distorted reality.
It shows that with little ambition, we can surmount all insurmountable mental incapacities and capture our wildest dreams of becoming what we so choose.
The whole shoot signifies a sense of triumph to Ama , almost paying a timeless tribute to a forgotten past that has moulded her into what she is today.
She is the rose that grew from a “borla”, A beautiful rose she is.
@Joseph Midnight, I live that seems like you got expierence in portraits nice one bruv
@Joseph Midnight, well said !
@Joseph Midnight, Dear you can be a very good poet, with such intelligence the sky is the limit for you.
I love the pictures. she doesnt have to look like a model or pose like one. She is just being herself. Ama do your thing.
@B.B, says things the way they are, the pix is not not . Ama pls dont force yourself to look like a model God knows best.
@stiflar, you are just jealous of her.
Haa.. the lady is begining to look like Leila Oooo…
She needs a diffrent line of direction when it come to modeling.. the persona ain’t there! baby stick to what you know. But i hear this is a campaingne thing?
Nice photos, when you go to Ghana, the borla is too much ooo, cant they do a bit of recycling in our country? see the mountain of borla behind her
WAKE UP BLOCK HEADS!!!!! WHAT IS SOO FANTASTIC ABOUT THIS STUPID PICTURE? WE NEED TO CLEAR OUR RUBBISH AND NOT TO TAKE PICTURES WITH THEM. U GUYS ARE CRAZY, GROW UP!
@NII SOWAH, Huh?? no need to talk rubbish if u dont understand the concept and the idea of the photograph ,check what Joseph said and get the sense in this whole thing … always try to reason first before u speak …cos u just disgrace urslef …
ewwwwwww wtf is that
she looks good
try harder ama k. publicity hahhahah
I like the pictures…..the lady behind her is Nana Darkoa who writes a blog on african women and sexuality….Adventuresfrom.com. All in all, i like the concept of the shoot.
[pictures just are’nt nice… will blame it on poor direction plus they cud have done more with de whole borla idea- not creative enuf!! she’s basically jus standing next to crap!! compare with yvonne nelson’s photos!!
Well, I love Joseph’s midnight’s
concept, if only that is the actuall story behind this work. There could be many other ways this story could have be told.If whoever it was behind this photoshoot was trying to be creative, then I guess it didnt work at all, Atleast why dont u try to make that “filth” blurry so it wouldn’t compete with the image.Well, I luv Ama, but for this one I didnt fall for at all.
mmm borla shots. New concept.. To creat awareness for a good cause. More power to her.
I like the concept/ideology behind the shot but I BUT I don’t see/feel the connection between the image and the background. No fierceness (power, force) 🙂
its a shame people have missed the whole idea of this shoot…it isnt about her looking like a model…it is about environment awareness…she is a beautiful lady…surronded or standing infront “borla” or nwurah…notice the contrast people….borla is not nice…not outstanding in our society…thats the main point…so analyse this image properly than placing ama k as a bad model or a good model…the message is the most important…
she looks good,oh i like dat.
Ummm at a garbage damp, no bueno, i mean understand the message behind the shoot, but damn they should have come up with another concept, i applaud her for her bravery tho.
They should ve gotten a designer..Ghanaian based designer to whip up a creative “Rubber bag dress”..to certainly “AdDress” the Issue!!!
