Documentary Photographer | Storyteller | Advocate

"The aesthetics of light can never be revealed until it is challenged by shadows."

The Story Behind the Lens

My journey into photography began in 2022 in Enugu, where I discovered my passion for visual storytelling through the media department at House on the Rock. What started as curiosity transformed into a calling to capture the unheard voices of our communities.

I honed my craft at Stimagerry Photostudio and Bokehub Enugu, where I learned that photography is more than technical skill—it's about empathy, connection, and truth. Each frame I capture tells a story that deserves to be seen and remembered.

My professional journey has taken me through diverse roles: Production Assistant at AFAITV and BTS Director at Oracle Films. These experiences taught me the power of collaborative storytelling and the importance of documenting moments that matter.

Currently, I serve as the Photographer to the First Lady of Abia State and the National Council of Women Societies (NCWS), where I document initiatives that uplift women and children across Nigeria. This work aligns perfectly with my passion for advocacy and social impact storytelling.

Through my lens, I aim to challenge perceptions, break barriers, and illuminate the stories that shape our society. Every photograph is an opportunity to advocate for change and amplify marginalized voices.
