At the 50th SWAG Awards Night, one presence on the red carpet drew as much admiration as the honourees themselves, Nii Otoe Bruce-Tagoe, CEO of 29PhotoStudio, and one of Africa’s most celebrated action sports photographers.

Recognized as the AIPS Africa No.1 Ranked Action Sports Photographer in 2023 and among the Top 10 in 2024, Nii Otoe walked into the golden jubilee event not only as a documenter of history, but as a history-maker in his own right.

With his signature long lens in hand and dressed in a refined dark suit, he embodied excellence, discipline, and artistry. His images have shaped how Ghana and the world see sports, capturing the speed, intensity, and triumph that define athletic greatness.

As SWAG marked 50 years of honouring the best in sports journalism, Nii Otoe’s presence symbolized the evolution of sports storytelling. His work continues to set new standards, inspire young photographers, and elevate Ghana’s reputation on the global stage.

On a night dedicated to excellence, Nii Otoe Bruce-Tagoe stood as the perfect representation of it.
