Lamide and Albert: Our Traditional Wedding

May 9th, 2012

Can you remember Lamide and Albert? I did their pre-wedding sometimes last year. Check it out here. Today I have their Traditional Wedding they did in December 2011. This was one of the fun weddings I did last year. I have some of the shots I really love here thanks to Bayo Omoboriowo and Linguini for helping me out on that day.

Their white wedding is a lovely one too and I would post that next week. I called Lamide two days ago and told her about posting the pictures She was so happy about it and gave me the go ahead.

Make sure you enjoy every bit of it. Tell someone about it and she would be happy to read your comments.

Enjoy!

Lagos Night in Bokeh

May 2nd, 2012

I made a lot of Bokeh each time I go out for a job and come back late in the Night. Photography job is a late Night job in this part of the world as most jobs would crawl into the dark. That suffixes the saying that Nigerians like Night parties.

Back to the business of the day, Cos I move around with my camera a lot I am always faced with the challenge of taking photograph of what I see day-in day-out expecially the ones interest me. But it has been very difficult to do that in the Night…In a moving bus. So after trying for a long time and didn’t get what I wanted except for Bokeh pictures I resulted into doing just bokeh alone.

Now I just switch my lens focus to manual and capture beautiful Nightlife of Lagos roads. Here are a few…many more to come. Enjoy and Share. Happy New Month!

Note: In photography, bokeh (Originally BOH-kay, and also sometimes called as BOH-ke ) is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur in out-of-focus areas of an image.

A Quick Pre-Wedding Shoot: Kayowa and Kehinde

April 26th, 2012

Here is a quick Pre-Wedding Shoot I did for Kayowa and Kehinde in Lagos. It’s a shoot we did in a very little time when statistics to go away from their lovely home as planned seemed unrealistic due to time constraint. So I decided to use their home. They were comfortable with it and as quick as possible we battled the Sun while it last.

Obviously Kayowa is Kehinde’s very best friend. They have been together for year’s right from Diploma days in FUTA when they met and agreed to marry each other. Kayowa is also an extremely funny guy…although he has tried not to appear funny here in the pictures until the last two frames.

Presently they are wedded and away from the public for their Honey Moon. I would post their wedding pix soonest.
Enjoy it and Share.

Terdoo & Seyi: White Wedding in Markudi, Nigeria.

April 23rd, 2012

Seyi and I met online some months ago (Last year) after he saw one of my pictures he fell in love with and decided I was gonna photograph his wedding in Markudi early in the next year. Necessary arrangements were made and I await the beautiful day. We finally met on the morning of the Traditional Wedding. We got along as usual and here are some of the pictures.

It was quiet challenging though photographing them because Seyi and Terdoo are not the kind of Picture freak who will do a quick pose when they see your camera. I was able to get their attention over a while. I must also say this is the best trip I have enjoyed so far as they gave me a 5star treatment around the towns of Benue state.

Enjoy and Share.

Lagos Carnival 2012 (Part 1)

April 10th, 2012

It’s the Lagos Carnival again! I am glad to be a Nigerian. I am proud to be a Photographer. I am glad to have been at this year’s Carnival. If you have not been to one before you may not be able to tell the complete story of a Nigerian.
I would leave the pictures to tell its story and am sure you would enjoy this first part which is more of the streets. I have also uploaded them in no particular form so you can view them according to the time I shot them guess that makes it livelier.

This year’s Lagos Carnival was tagged ‘Eko4Show’. As usual the turnout was over 12,000 participants who converged from all around the world. The carnival starts at Falomo through Ikoyi and some parts of Eko streets finally ending at TBS (Tafawa Balewa Square). The carnival is usually the high point of the Lagos Black Heritage Week.
