A set of twin brothers called Emmanuel and Samuel Appiah Gyan who both graduated from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) have left their degrees to pursue a photography career under the SwagOfAfrica brand.
Youngendysblog.com reports that Samuel and Emmanuel graduated with degrees in Post Harvest Technology and Landscape Architecture from KNUST before giving up on their certificates and job search to venture into photography alongside blogging.
