During my recent photo walk through the streets of Mushin, Lagos, I set out to capture the local markets. This image, filled with the vivid reds and yellows of tomatoes and peppers, reflects the rich vibrancy of street life in Lagos. The vendors, with their neatly arranged produce, offer a glimpse into the everyday hustle that fuels the city’s dynamic food economy. It’s a scene of organized chaos, where hard work and community come together
This photograph isn’t just about the market; it’s about telling the story of the people who make Lagos thrive. Through this street photography project, I aim to celebrate the unsung heroes of the city – the local traders whose dedication shapes the pulse of the streets. By immersing myself in these moments, I hope to document the authenticity of life in Lagos, from the vibrant colors to the heartfelt interactions happening in every corner.
