Welcome to The "Deo Gratias" Photo Studio
The Untold Ghanaian Story
The Deo Gratias Photo Studio was established in 1922 and signified the height of founder J. K. Bruce-Vanderpuije and sons Isaac Hudson and Ernest John’s aspirations and dreams of what they can achieve with photography and eventually their place in Gold Coast history. To the present day, it can arguably be said to be one of the oldest Photography studios in Africa and by 2022 it would be a centennial celebration - a hundred years of operation. Photography at the time was a big deal than it is today-it indicated one's importance in society. Mrs. Kate Tamakloe, Neé Kate Aku Bruce-Vanderpuije, Isaac Hudson's daughter is the latest custodian of this long-held family dream; their shutter speed is still in use.
