Meet the CEO of AG concept, Mr Amo Gyekye. He’s a photographer, a videographer, graphic designer, teacher and a song minister. Yes, this gentleman is all that and more. He’s the designer behind this picture
Besties, it’s great to have a young man of such great vision on our platform today. You can call him Oliver Twist, Jack of all trades, multi-talented, but for the purpose of this chat, let’s just refer to him simply as AG and I will as always be N.C (Nana Cady).
Q1. I might have missed something, so from the horse’s own mouth, what does AG concept entail?
AG: AG concept is Amo Gyekye Concept; an
embodiment of several brands. ie Graphics, Photography and T.shirt Printing
N.C: Did you have a professional training in all that?
Not at all. But this is how it started; after National Service in 2016, one faithful Friday, my very good friend Andy sent me a slide show (video). I asked him which software he used for that and he mentioned Photoshop so I quickly checked softwares I had and luckily for me I found Photoshop CS6. Then later on, I got to know it could be used to make flyers. Then my boss, who I really respect so much, called Keziah, taught me how to go about it on phone for two weeks and this so far has been the journey.
Q2. Will the teaching profession be cancelled from your tall list of jobs?
AG: Teaching is my passion and I love to impart knowledge. Though not a professional teacher but would later be one.
Q3. How’s the song ministry doing?
AG: My passion and my call in the kingdom of God is singing. I do have a single track cooking which will be out very soon. I also have several worship tracks on my Facebook ( Amo Gyekye) and YouTube (Amo Gyekye Official) pages.
N.C: I must say you’re amazing for a self-taught
It has not been easy though. Sleepless nights, constant learning, but it has yielded productive results. In all, Jesus is the reason.
Q4. Which of the stuff you do brings cash to your table the most?
AG: Actually all aspects of my businesses bring cash. However, the photography supercedes.
A little upgrade in it will yield even more.
N.C: Should we be expecting a studio soon?
AG: Very soon. 75% done. Hoping to complete in a short time my professional and standard studio. You will be the first I’ll take a shot of Alby.
N.C: Mama I made it 😀. Thanks AG… it’ll be an honour.
AG: Welcome please.
Q5. Would you do a nude shoot if that’s what a client wants?
AG: My personal ethics don’t promote such. Before coming into this business I made it clear to myself that I won’t take such shots. I’m not ready to contradict myself.
Q6. Do you think every Christian has to speak in tongues?
AG: Not necessarily! Speaking in tongues doesn’t guarantee one’s holiness as a Christian
N.C: Do you though?
Yes I do.
Q7. How do you handle flirtatious clients?
AG: Business really means business to me. Maybe some clients throw flirtations but I’m too busy and serious with business to see that.
N.C: Are you dating?
No please. I am not so desperate nor in a rush though. I’m hoping for my right woman.
Q8. How do people access your services when needed?
AG: Social media has been a great source for advertising.

Q9. What’s your anger management strategy?
AG: I hardly get angry but when I do, I keep quiet on the issue so not to cause a mess. When someone betrays my trust or fabricates false stories about me, I get angry.
Q10. Which photographers inspire you?
AG: Some great photographers like Manuel Photography, StepGh and zeta studio. These guys inspire me a lot and I really love them
N.C: We’ve come to the end of our chat. If there’s anyone out there who has lost faith in God, what would you want to say to the person?
AG: Hope is not found in man. Man disappoints but God appoints. Your hope might be lost but God works in time and seasons and in HIS own calculated time your life will turn around.
Joel 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
Whatever has been taken away from you will surely be given back and this time round in double folds. Just a matter of time. Pray and don’t forget to pay your tithe because to me it works like magic.
I really appreciate Nana Alby Cady for this great opportunity. And I still have it in mind;
first shot in my studio. Thank you.
N.C: Powerful. It was great having you
AG: Thanks dear I’m humbled
NB: This ends the 2nd season of 10QFNC. I hope it’s been a good season for you. Catchu in season 3. Thanks.
Below are some shots from AG. Thanks for reading. Enjoy the weekend
