A Burkinabe photographer, living and working in Bobo-Dioulasso. Sanle Sory's photographic journey began in 1960, the same year his country became independent from France as the République de Haute-Volta.
As a young photographer he documented the fast evolution of his own city, he captured the collision between modern life and centuries-old traditions from this culturally rich and rural region. He worked as a reporter, illustrator, an official photographer but most prominently as a studio photographer. It was here that he captured Bobo-Dioulasso's people with his unique wit, energy and passion. His work is captivates anti-colonial expressionism.
