My love for photography started as a child while in Secondary School. My dad had bought a small Canon camera back then with plans of using it for parties, being a socialite, especially in our hometown Ikorodu (Lagos State, Nigeria). I fell in love with the gadget back then and requested to take it with me to school as I was about to graduate and wanted to create memories of my final years. Those were the days of Kodak where we would buy films and ration their use to capture the moments intended.
Several years after I had left school, I found out that the love and passion to create moments with pictures (still photography or motion) had never left me. I loved to tell stories and would go miles to create those moments and tell beautiful & compelling stories from shots collected from my expeditions.
