Sentada en lo que fue alguna vez los cimientos de alguna ciudad me quedé viendo el atardecer azulado frente a mi, el agua reflejaba el cielo con matices lilas, morados que provenían de las nubes y el sol, en su mayoría tonos frios e intensos. Al fondo, muy a lo lejos hay una isla, se ve cerca por lo grande que es, alguna vez alguien me dijo que está llena de conejos, y más cerca a mi alcance están los roquerios que muy cómodos se ven ya que nunca los he tocado, el agua es apacible, normal en un lago, donde viven plumiferos varios en realidad, no podria decir cuáles son más hermosos, especialmente cuando planean en el cielo o patinan sobre el agua con sus grandes alas extendidas, de vez en cuando se ven círculos en el agua, no sé si son los mosquitos que la tocan o peces pequeños que saltan, haciéndolo un lugar mágico, tan mágico que me quiero adentrar en él.

Sentí la impulsividad de lanzarme a esa masa bella y bañárme en sus colores, nadar y nadar hasta poder llegar al otro extremo, ¿Cuando me tardaría en hacerlo? Y ¿Que hay al otro lado?, Me encantaría saber que paisajes y mundos nuevos podría encontrar, la magia que hay a los pies de tan gloriosas aguas y los escombros de alguna civilización que estuvo ahí, ese volcán a creado todo lo bello que mis ojos pueden ver, así que pudo destruir todo lo que no le agradaba en su obra.

La noche se empezó a acercar, una luz blanca y constante se empezó a ver. Entre todos los cerros y el volcán se puede ver una especie de entrada, se ve pequeña y no puedo dejar de pensar que hay atrás de todas esas tierras, las plantas maravillosas, los árboles, cascadas, las tierras que me están esperando para recorrerlas a pies descalzos sin nada más que mis ganas de descubrir.

Los tonos azules del paisaje se fueron apagando y la neblina termino de esconder incluso los roquerios.

SHICK. SMILES. SERENE

This was the first ever photoshoot I did by myself, I can remember freaking out when I realized it was really just going to be only me.

To talk with the model, to try to pose the shots and everything, I opened Pinterest multiple multiple times.

I actually had no idea I would be doing a Photoshoot, I had thought it was another small event.

This was supposed to be a shoot to help promote the space as a place you can use for your Photoshoots.

Eventually, I started getting comfortable and started visualizing good shots, plus she really helped a lot, she also wasn't a total stranger, so we could talk during and work things out easily.

It was pretty great Overall.

I'm still loyal to event photography tho, but this was a good experience.

Pelumi & Titilayo. ❤️ Follow us and Tag us @africanweddingsng to be featured and more love stories. Our Story We were both serving at the media department in Kingsword campus church OAU, Ile Ife. Pelumi was one of leaders in the team and we saw quite often. After a while, I noticed Pelumi wanted us to talk more and he even said we should become prayer accountability partners 🤣 (sneaky man) At this point I knew something was up, because we had an excuse to talk more often. After a while becoming better friends, Pelumi said we should go out to eat at a restaurant, I noticed he was super nervous, but somehow, he was able to tell me how he felt and I felt the same. We started being friends with an intent. We hung out regularly, talked a lot, spoke about everything and we became best of friends. After a while We had to become official. The dynamics of our relationship changed a bit when Pelumi left school and started working in Lagos and I was still in school. We had a lot of friction at this point because we were living different realities and communication wasn’t easy. I was complaining to Pelumi about lecturers but he was complaining about real life - work, money and all. We were able to communicate better through wise counsel from people we both submitted to and learnt from other people who were in similar situations. Long distance is not for the faint hearted but God helped us through. We sent our first texts June 17, 2016 and it’s been 6 years dating this wonderful man. We are both excited to go on this journey of forever.

MUSIC, BEAUTY & FAMILY.

I covered a private hybrid concert (physical & livestreamed) sometime ago, these are some of the images from then.

One interesting minor challenge was getting good angles while keeping in mind the pool a few centimeters from my feet 😂.
