Photographer Malick Sidibé

Photographer Malick Sidibé's earlier works can best be described as a time capsule into city life in Bamako, Mali during the 1960s-70s.

His distinctive black and white photo booth style studio portraits are just striking as are his location shoots where he captured celebrations such as parties and weddings.
