KALADA BRIGGS
I am a visual storyteller, aerial photographer, and creative technologist based in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Growing up in the Niger Delta shaped how I see the world. My work is rooted in the region’s environmental struggles, cultural identity, and untold stories. Through drone cinematography and photography, I capture the intersection of heritage, environment, and urban development.
ARTIST STATEMENT
As an aerial photographer, I use the sky as my lens to reveal new ways of seeing Africa, from the hidden beauty of the Niger Delta waterways to the fast-changing skylines of Port Harcourt and other cities in Arica. From above, I can capture how environment, culture, and development are all connected. This view shows both strength and struggle: the marks left by oil spills in Ogoni land, the energy of cultural festivals, and the bold rise of new cities across West Africa.
