It was a weekend of striking poses, lights, camera and action as the 20 finalists in this year’s Miss Ghana beauty contest were treated to a glittering photo shoot at the Mirage Royal Hotel at East Legon in Accra.

It was a day full of excitement as the attractive and exquisite-looking finalists savoured every moment of the 12-hour long photo shoot. For most of the finalists, it was a unique opportunity to showcase what they’ve got and perhaps wean themselves of some tension and nervousness which at a point, was becoming increasingly stressful.

The end product, after all the tensed moments, borne out of the quest to give the contestants an entirely different look, passed for a day full of thrills and precision, thanks to the sharp lenses of professional photographers Sefa Nkansah, Emmanuel Bobie, Carl Richardson and George King.

The photo shoot session was one of many activities leading to the finale slated for October 30, at the Accra International Conference Centre. The finalists inlcude: Stephanie Karikari, Barira Musah, Esther Gadagbui, Ayisha Munkaila, Asi Addo-Yobo, Daizy Asare- Akoto, Linda Annansey, Ida Seidu, Michelle Ayonka, Pokua Agyemang-Badu, Phyllis Nuno, Felicia Tawiah, Frances Nyamikeh, Nadra Osman, Chantell Dapaah, Rita Dawugbo, Joyce Aziabah, Selma Baba, Bernice Bekoe and Yaa Bema Adu-Gyamfi .
