African Image explores visual representations of African life through the photographic lens of Sam Haskins. The work is characterized by its focus on form, light, and composition, capturing moments that reveal textures and patterns in both human subjects and their environments.
Published in 1967 by Madison Square Press, the book spans 180 pages and presents a series of monochrome photographs that emphasize contrasts and shadows. Haskins’ approach offers a study in abstraction and portraiture, portraying African themes with a modernist sensibility distinct for its period.
