At the same time as freelancing, Barnor became the first staff photographer employed by the Daily Graphic newspaper when it was established in Ghana in 1950 by Cecil King of the London Daily Mirror Group.
Barnor also sold photographs to other publications, notably the South African magazine Drum, which covered news, politics and entertainment.
Drum was founded in 1951 by Jim Bailey, with whom Barnor established an ongoing relationship, using the magazine's Fleet Street office as his base when he first went to London.
