    Photographing Lagos: Drive By Shooting

    These days, being driven is a luxury for so many reasons. One, I am relieved from fighting for my life on these crazy Lagos streets and two, I can shoot these so called crazy Lagos streets.

    People are not very accommodating of photographers. Infact, one day I came across this old lady who told (yelled at) me that when you take a person’s photograph you take a part of their soul, so it is wrong to let random strangers take away ones soul. For that reason, I find it safer to shoot from a moving car.

    It’s actually really exciting because you have one chance to take a picture andsometimes even when you miss the subject and you get only a bit of it the corner (or a 3rd) of the image, it still works. I cannot tell you what exactly I was chasing in these shots but I had fun doing it.
