My trip to Nigeria was truly amazing for so many reasons. Being an African myself (Liberian to be exact), the experience tends to be more special when you return to your ‘Motherland’. I was there for 7 days and I completely immersed myself in the culture. I wore the traditional clothes, ate the local food and interacted with every Nigerian I could. I have a ton more pictures to share, including Uju and Obi’s beautiful wedding, but I wanted to start with Nigeria’s greatest treasure — their children.
The more I travel, the more I find that kids are the perfect subject for pictures. They have no insecurities or hesitation in front of the camera and they really help tell the story of wherever you visit.
By the way, the shot below just might be my favorite picture of all time. The simplicity of this moment is something I can’t recreate and he was such a cool little dude too.
