I shot this in Yaba market in Lagos. I went to the market with my camera for once and decided to capture things and people I found interesting on the way, and these boys and I had a brief conversation and I ended up getting that shot at the end of it.

By documenting how people express their faith in clothing and carry their faith through everyday life, these photographs sheds light on how community is built not only through presence, but through shared purpose, reverence, and identity.

This photograph was taken at River Niger, Lokoja, Kogi State, Nigeria. I took the photograph during one of my trips in the other side of the Niger, while also inside another ferry.

This photograph was taken at Piassa, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I saw the man enjoying the sun and went on to capture it.

This photograph was taken in Obo-Kwahu, in Ghana’s Eastern Region, while I was documenting the work of the Fawohoma Initiative. I arrived before sunrise and followed children as they walked through the mountain fog on their way to school. I didn’t direct or stage the scene; I simply observed and moved with them, waiting for moments to unfold naturally. Everything in this photograph—from the atmosphere to the expressions and movement—was captured using only the available natural light. The fog softened the morning light, creating a quiet, diffused quality that I embraced rather than trying to alter. I wanted the image …

This photograph was taken at the tabernacle of a small Rastafarian family living in the mountainous area of Wellington, at the extreme top of the hill in Freetown. It is a place most people in the city have never seen. I was there on a Saturday morning, documenting the family as part of ‘The Keepers’, an ongoing documentary photography project that follows their life across seasons.

This photo was shot in Argungu town, Kebbi State, Nigeria during the 61st Argungu International Fishing and Cultural Festival. During the fishing event which lasts for one hour, any fisherman that catches a reasonably large fish immediately comes out of the river with it for scaling because there is a prize for the heaviest fish caught.

This is one of those photos that has many layers to it. It is saying and expressing a lot. From the unknown, faceless man and his body language to where he is pictured. And I loved that partially pictured white car with a touch of pink rims.

I photographed this in Mararaba Market, Nasarawa, Nigeria. I went fabric shopping and after combing through the wooden stalls on muddy ground, I found a father and daughter duo with the variety of fabric I needed. Purchasing a fabric is not something you do in a hurry. So, while I sat on the wooden bench, waiting, I took the picture.

I chose this photograph because it captures a quiet moment of spiritual journey and daily life at Debre Libanos Monastery in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. What drew me to the scene was the contrast between the vast landscape and the small white figures climbing the mountain early in the morning. I was interested in the feeling of silence, devotion, and movement within the landscape, and I felt this moment expressed that naturally.
