Thanks for the email.
I have been thinking along the same lines.
I met a photographer filmmaker who lives in Ghana. I can in contact with
him while working on an article about Shiare.
While working on the article I discovered that a lot of the towns in the
northern district (Nkwanta) were had no wikidata items or Wikipedia
articles.
I thought it would be great if at these the towns could have Wikicommons
photos.
Ishmeal is professional and would need to at have a stipend.

Ismael sent me photos he took that are on his Google drive. Because most
of them were stamped copywritten I could not use them. He uploaded 3
photos to Wikicommons that I was able to use.
I had a zoom edit session with him in regards to Shiare.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nkwanta_South_Municipal_District. If you
notice all bit one of the villages had a Wikipedia article and that is
Shiare.
His work is professional and beautiful in still photography and filming.
