Conversations with Nature

I remember thinking to myself and day dreaming of a day at the seas side but this time not just for letting my hair down but to create timeless art and make some magic with Nigerian photographer Ari labadi .

We wanted to capture the conversations that can be had with nature and our Muse the amazing multi talented actor, host, and all round media girl Folustorms brought that all to reality.

All Black Everything: A Fashion Editorial

Some people say you can’t get the best or make the best with everything being black, and I say to them, black is beautiful, it is gold, it is solid, it is magic.

I and an amazing team of Nigerian creatives took to the very busy streets in the city of Lagos Nigeria to create timeless fashion stories in an all black everything editorial.

Here are first set of photos , more too come .

Enjoy,

Mothers Do It Better: A Fashion Editorial

Who says mothers can’t be super glamorous and look effortlessly beautiful even while nursing their baby.

Bellanaija.com, spotlight p imagery, and my self teamed up to organize a series of photo shoots to celebrate some beautiful mothers for mother’s day.

To see their eyes glow and beam with joy at the final outcome of their looks, meant so much more than words can say.

I was more than happy to create timeless memories for these women.

Grace Jones : The re-incarnation

 

Who does not love the style icon, Grace Jones?

I have always wanted to restyle a photo shoot of the icon and when that opportunity came, i didn’t hesitate to cease it.

This is my reincarnation of the icon through my eyes.
