Bio:
I discovered my passion for photography in 2012, after watching a series of documentaries. These ranged from the First and Second World Wars to other historical documentaries on culture, religion and influential icons, including Nelson Mandela, Benjamin Carson and Professor Wole Soyinka. I also drew inspiration from ceremonial events, such as my parents’ wedding documentation, and several others.
These documentaries inspired me, and I realised that I could access and learn from these historical events because they had been documented. Unfortunately, many events in the past remain unaccounted for due to a lack of documentation.
To cut a long story short, I took up photography and videography in late 2014. With God’s guidance, I have been fortunate enough to document over 50 events to date, and I continue to do so.
