Abstract
In recent times it is perceived technology is contributing to high levels of unemployment among graduate workers in the photography industry in Ghana. The study aimed to explore the impact of technology on employment opportunities in the industry and assess the consequences of this for Ghana. A comprehensive review of existing literature was conducted to inform the research design, which involved both qualitative and quantitative approaches to gather quality data from participants. The study involved interviews and questionnaires with a total of 23 participants, including directors of photography studios, graduate workers, and unemployed graduates seeking employment. The findings suggest that the rise of modern technology is leading to the displacement of digital photography skilled workers, with photography directors being hesitant to expand their businesses and hire more workers due to the challenging economic climate. Participants also reported facing financial constraints when trying to start their photography businesses. Based on these findings, the study provides suggestings for assuaging the impact of technological unemployment in digital photography industry in Ghana.
