In this powerful black and white portrait, a face adorned with delicate flowers holds a silent story. Water droplets streak down the subject's serene expression, capturing a moment of bittersweet emotion, resilience, and connection to nature. The gentle grip on the sprig of leaves and blossoms adds a touch of hope amidst the silence, reminding us of the delicate balance between strength and vulnerability. This evocative image speaks to the beauty found in raw emotion and the quiet power of the natural world.

It is a photo of an Old woman i took, This portrait captures the grace of age and the quiet poetry of a life well-lived. Every wrinkle tells a story — of laughter, of struggle, of resilience. Her smile, though timeworn, radiates warmth and dignity, reminding us that beauty is not found in perfection, but in the truth of experience. The sepia tone adds a nostalgic depth, echoing memories of generations past, while her expression speaks softly of peace and wisdom carried through the years.

We look to constellations for navigation, for stories etched in the cosmos. This image reimagines that idea for our own journeys. Here, a flock of birds becomes a living constellation—a new pattern of hope drawn against the warm, painterly sky of a new dawn. Each bird is a single point of light, a single dream taking flight. Together, they form a map made not of distant stars, but of collective will. I chose a soft, minimalist aesthetic to capture the feeling of a myth in the making. This is the story of migration not as a simple departure, but as the creation of our own guidance system. A new world is possible when we learn to navigate by the light of our own shared movement, following the constellation we create ourselves.

Reaching for the first full moon of the year; light doesn’t always ask permission- sometimes it meets you half way.

“Omoluabi" is a Yoruba word for a good, well-behaved child,the kind of child who embodies respect, integrity, and makes their family proud. In this photograph, Belinda stands transfixed before a painting that is the very picture of this ideal. The portrait shows a complete family,a father, a mother, and their child, dressed in a graduation gown and holding a scroll. It is the perfect image of a successful "Omoluabi" fulfilling their parents' dreams. For Belinda, the scene resonates with a painful depth. It pulls her back to her own childhood, to a time when her relationship with her parents was just as the painting depicts: "love so tender, love so innocent and pure." But as she stands there, the portrait becomes a mirror to a life that is no longer hers. That past is gone. The loving, proud family on the canvas only serves to highlight how "thin" her own family bond has become, leaving her in a moment of silent, heavy contemplation, caught between the ideal of the "Omoluabi" and the reality of her life.

Perched 1,600 meters above sea level, the Highland Tea Farm is the largest highland tea estate in West Africa, spanning about 1,200 hectares. Each morning, before the mist lifts and the sunrows harsh, women arrive as early as 6 a.m. to pluck tender leaves under the cool mountain air.  They are expected to gather up to 50 kilograms of leaves (the weight of a bag of rice) to earn ₦1,000. Beyond the lush green hills, this image tells a deeper story of resilience and quiet strength. Many of these women are the primary breadwinners for their families, balancing demanding labor with the care of their homes. This image seeks to uncover the unseen strength and dignity of the women whose hands do not just toil the land but nurture life itself.

Reimagining the city I call home, Kano, Nigeria in noir. Shot from the Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso Bridge, this one of a kind Y-shaped building is also known as Gidan Ado Bayero because of its proximity to the Palace of the Emir and now the Yusuf Maitama Sule University Campus (YUMSUK)

The identity of a place lies with its people and lives they live. Heritage, culture ,belief and struggle are essential ingredients in shaping the thinking of people of a region. Nigeria has had her fair share of ups and downs . The glories of the past and the fleeting hope for  tomorrow. Nigeria in her glory stood tall among the world’s best,  serving as a dawn of a new age ,  and fierce in the faces of adversity and injustice, both home and abroad. But decades of regressions is enough to discourage her people on the possibility of a better tomorrow. Nigeria remains Nigeria, and the gallantry and resilience of its people did not wane. The everyday challenges could distract us of our inherent identity but what if another perspective is revealed for us to see, the vestige of old architectures, the resplendence of our cultures, folklores that comes to life, clusters of people with shared interest, patterns from the sky, beauties of nature ,unique landscapes and communities that holds nostalgic memories.  Another Nigeria exists and is ever present but its only revealed when we are ready to see it, to guide us towards an optimistic future.
