The Africa 24 Media African Photography site http://photography.a24media.com/ is a collection of images taken by photographers all across Africa. The bulk of the images on the website dates back to as early as 1900s.

Containing more than 4 million photographs, the Africa 24 Media and Camerapix Archive is the largest collection of African images in existence. These images bring an unprecedented edge to the company’s archive that cannot be found anywhere else.

It consists of color transparencies and negatives, and black and white prints shot on 35-mm, and 120-mm formats, photographed by Africa´s best ever in photography, the late Mohamed Amin and his principle partner Duncan Willetts. Africa 24 Media is in the process of digitizing this great archive and photography website is the major platform that is being used to showcase the images and open the archive to the rest of the world.

Apart from the archive, which serves as the bulk of the website, professional photographers from around Africa continue to provide images that cover the length and breath of Africa. This provides an eclectic mix of savvy photojournalism, blending different themes and attractions under the African sky that are catgorised in the various categories on the website:
