In my head, I rehearsed many ways that I could have started writing this blog however, as soon as I put pen to paper nothing made sense. Naturally, I will speak about my absence from Hive for a whole year.

Since my gradual return to Hive, I have spent most of my time in the black-and-white community sharing photos as entries for the daily monomad challenge. That's an interesting activity for me especially

Having done wedding photography properly for a year now, I understand why a lot of photographers dread it. It can be such a daunting exercise over a long period. Aside from that, wedding photography is

Is it still okay to say Happy New Year? This is my first Hive post for 2024 and while I have valid reasons for my absence, I'm glad I can resume posting on Hive again. The year is barely 2 months old yet,

A few months ago, I crashed a shoot my friend from Ghana was doing with Brihanna. My friend Kweku, as we fondly call him was visiting Nigeria from Ghana, and he made a stop in PortHarcourt to visit. As

Debbie's birthday photos this year were sort of a miracle. A miracle because it wouldn't have happened. Debbie felt nonchalant about taking photos for her birthday this year. It took an intervention for

My life and career took a pretty unexpected and seemingly positive turn this year. At least, it has been good for the most part so I can't complain. The only complaint I have about what has happened to

If you ever caught me sharing about my photography journey, one thing/place that's sure to be a part of my story is Uyo, Nigeria. Uyo was the bedrock upon which my photography career started and blossomed.

Recently, I found that I had rekindled my long-lost flame of shooting nature and greenery. I fell in love with shooting in green areas when I started photography in 2019. The reason was that I didn't have

I just now realized that I never got to publish photos from Debbie's birthday shoot last year. That's such a huge oversight considering how mindblowing those photos were. We created very stunning photos,

If you didn't see part one based on my post title, please check it out here. As promised, I'm back with another post, based on my current photography project "Unseen". If you read my previous

A very weird post title if I say so myself but please read on to find out why. While I haven't been called out on the internet yet, my friends haven't failed to directly call me out on my failure to deliver

Last year, Brea/Brihanna was a regular at my studio apartment. Beyond being colleagues around our work ecosystem, we had become friends or family of some sort, and based on that relationship she came around

This year, I slowed down doing collaborations with other vendors around my space. The reason was that I had become overwhelmed by my own activities that I couldn't cope with doing collaboration projects

I'm at the stage in my photography career where I need to step up my brand presence, value, and price to reduce the amount of work I've to deal with monthly. The amount of work I've done this year, I never

Barely a week after switching to Sony completely, I had the opportunity to put it to proper use. Bear in mind that I had not fully mastered how to operate the camera and thought it was going to be a daunting

Sometimes, I wonder what goes on in the Hive when I'm absent. I wonder if like me other people stopped posting, stopped sharing, and generally stopped communicating. I'm glad that the Hive is still buzzing

After several years of flirting with the thought, I finally made the switch to a mirrorless camera. Not just any mirrorless camera, but a Sony. Having used a Nikon DSLR since the start of my photography

Gina probably is my most consistent client ever. This year marked the third time she'll hire my services for her birthday photo shoot. I don't even classify her as a client anymore. Because beyond hiring
