African Photography digitised

A24 Media plans to launch a stills library featuring photographic collections in Africa that have been digitised. At launch, the library will feature the work of photographers Mohamed Amin and Duncan Willets.

A24 Media plans to source and market photographic content from journalists and organisations who want to find new markets for their stills.

Duncan Willets, the company's editorial director, photography, said, "Not only will the stills library on A24 Media open up a new and sustainable market for African photographers, but it will also showcase and build talent on the continent, and in effect raise a new generation of world class photographers from Africa."

A preview of the stills collection is available here.
