Martel Mataley

Martel Mataley Ekow is a native of Ghana, born in 1950 to a great healer of the Effutu Royal Family.
Martel has held exhibitions of his work throughout Africa and the rest of the world; predominantly working within the nations of Mali and Ghana. He was worked closely with G. Sanogo and the Sundiata Gallery, as well as the Rai-Matel in Takoradi, Ghana. I'm open to working with clients wishing to capture their events and venues through a magical and artistic photographic eye. You can see more of my work on
