The skills translate seamlessly.
As a doctor, I'm trained to really see & understand my patientsI observe all the details, the subtle nuances that others might miss. That's invaluable for photography too. I have an eye for finding the perfect angle, capturing authentic emotions, and telling a person's unique story through powerful, emotionally-evocative imagery.
No two clients are the same, so no two sessions are either. I take the time to understand your personality, aesthetic, and artistic vision. Then I carefully craft a customized experience and imagery that is 100% you.
My medical background has given me an incredible ability to listen deeply and empathize.
Understanding people's emotions is second nature, which helps me capture genuine, heartfelt moments. I'm skilled at making people feel at ease, whether it's in a clinic or behind the camera, ensuring natural and relaxed photos.
My experiences in the medical field have also trained me to stay calm under pressure and handle even high-stress situations with poise.
You can expect smooth, stress-free photo sessions every time.
Both medicine and photography are about human connection
I get to form real bonds with my patients and photography clients alike. My unique perspective blending artistic and scientific skills allows me to create images that don't just capture how someone looks, but who they truly are. The images celebrate the authentic, awesome individual - quirks, personality, and all.
For me, it's the ultimate creative and humanitarian outlet rolled into one unlikely combination.
I tailor each session to reflect your story, empower you to express yourself fully, and create heartfelt memories you'll cherish for a lifetime.
I'm a photographer and a doctor - and proud of being both!
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me at the hospital, stacking up valuable healthcare experiences & gaining priceless hands-on experience to prepare for that next big step into residency (my fellow IMGs know what I'm talking about!
Or at home, losing myself in a great book, editing your photos, or cheering loud for my favorite soccer team (Barcelona & whichever team Messi is on, if I’m to be totally honest)
A Few Things To Know About Me
But first,
Coffee.
I'm an early riser, up at 4:30 am every morning like clockwork. But here's the catch: nothing gets this show on the road until I've had my sacred coffee ritual. That first sip is my secret to kickstarting the day with energy and enthusiasm!
I'm Fluent in two languages (and sarcasm isn't one of them)
I grew up immersed in both English and the rich Yoruba language that's native to my Nigerian family's roots. It was an invaluable gift that's continued shaping my identity and experiences to this day.
Yoruba allows me to connect with my culture, community, and heritage on a deep level that just wouldn't be possible through English alone. Switching between the two languages feels totally natural - they're equal partners in my mind. I can be in the middle of an English conversation and then seamlessly flow into some Yoruba banter without skipping a beat.
Three's Company
I can only imagine the looks on your parents' faces when not two, but three beautiful babies arrived. I was the first to make my grand entrance, followed shortly after by my sister. But my brother decided to be fashionably late to the party! My parents were prepared for twins, but clearly we had other plans. Our unique triplet bond is one I wouldn't trade for the world - even if it did prematurely give our parents a few extra gray hairs.
It's Not Hoarding,
If It's Gear.
As a photographer, I totally get the struggle of trying to justify the ever-growing collection of cameras, lenses, tripods, and accessories. But hey, every piece of equipment serves a purpose and expands my creative capabilities. You can never have too many tools of the trade, right? My space may be getting a bit cramped, but at least I'm prepared for any photographic scenario that comes my way!
Drawing is my communication tool
For me, drawing isn't just a creative outlet - it's a powerful communication tool. Whenever I'm trying to explain a complex idea or abstract concept, I almost always find myself reaching for a pen and paper to sketch it out visually.
There's just something about transforming topics into simple diagrams, process drawings, or creative metaphorical imagery that makes lightbulbs go off in a way wordy explanations can't quite achieve.
My meeting notes are always filled with little doodles and impromptu visuals.
I love getting hands-on and building stuff from scratch.
I've always had a passion for building things. Back in middle school, I once attempted to construct an electrical stabilizer. Let's just say, there was a slight mishap, and the house may have experienced a small explosion. Needless to say, it's a day my dad would rather forget, so let's not bring it up with him!
It's my dual passion for artistic photography and compassionate patient care that allows me to connect with you all on a deeper level.
I feel so grateful to wake up every day doing what I love most. Using my creative vision to tell your authentic stories through stunning visuals, while providing the empathy and emotional understanding that comes from my medical background. I can't wait for us to create together and give you those timeless, meaning-filled images to cherish forever!
