Alphonso Sylvester Lisk-Carew (1887-1969) was active as a photographer in Sierre Leone from around 1905 to 1920-1925. His brother Arthur Lisk-Carew was also photographer and his companion.

RCS Photographers Index: "Alphonso and Arthur Lisk-Carew founded their business in 1905 (Macmillan 1920, p.267). They advertised as 'Photographers, importers of photographic materials, stationery, toys, fancy goods, etc., 3 East Brook Lane and 30, corner of Westmoreland and Gloucester Streets [Freetown, Sierra Leone]'. The brothers made photographic trips into the interior and also to the Gambia circa 1912. They were appointed photographers for the visit of the Duke of Connaught 1910."
