ABUJA PHOTO FESTIVAL

Babajide Olusanya

Exhibiting Artist

Nigeria

I am Babajide Olusanya, an artist based in Nigeria. My work explores storytelling  through photography, documenting lived experiences, cultural identity, and everyday  human moments. I enjoy capturing emotions and the relationship between people and  other people and their environment, allowing spontaneity and observation to guide my  process. Working in both color and black and white depending on the scene and its story  to reflect themes of memory, spirituality, and belonging. Rather than constructing  scenes, I like to capture reality as it poses, creating photographs that open up a visual  conversation between subject and viewer. My practice preaches fluidity, viewing each  body of work as a reflection of passing phases, personal encounters, and observation.
