Events cannot always be replayed in our minds\u00a0no matter how much we try to remember. Photographs are simply the best ways to save memories and Photographers are the best bet in achieving this.<\/p>\n
In Nigeria, the media focuses on music artists, actors, and footballers, with little or no attention to this group of people who provide timeless content captured in either still or motion pictures.<\/p>\n
In the past, photographers were seen as jobless people who go about with old cameras doing wash and take<\/em> pictures. Today, its a whole new world of art, creativity, and aestheticism.<\/p>\n Some photographers specialize in celebrity shots, others do photo-journalism and some others love to travel and take nature just the way it is.\u00a0Whichever the case, good photographers need to be honoured, irrespective of\u00a0the kind of niche they’ve created for themselves.<\/p>\n Mr Obi Somto was born on August 1, 1988, in Lagos and holds a degree in Banking and Finance from Babcock University. He is not just a photographer but is also into the art of\u00a0drawing, painting, moulding, and carving. He launched his career as a graphic designer and illustrator who brings a unique blend of experience, vision, and distinction to his style of photography.\u00a0He has photographed several Nigerian celebrities and dignitaries, including former president Goodluck Jonathan.<\/p>\n Adeola Olagunju\u00a0is a rising photographer who lives and works in Lagos. Her images speak volumes as they stage the photographer\u2019s attempt to break free from “mental shackles.” Her works have been exhibited at Lagos Photo and she won the\u00a0Young Artfund Amsterdam\u00a0Award in 2013.<\/p>\nThese Nigerian Photographers Will Inspire You<\/h3>\n
