Sotonye + Adebayo

I’ve started traveling again– which is why my blog updates have been very slow. I have a lot of material to post but I have been either limited by time to post or had very little internet access to do it. Sometimes the content that I want to post is 3000 miles away from me on my desktop computer. Even now, I am currently in Nigeria preparing to return back to London for a short while before I leave again for my next international job. But make sure to keep checking back! I’m trying my very best not to let the traveling slow down my posts too much.

This is a couple session of a very well known photographer in London, Adebayo Deru, who is getting married later on in the year. He asked me to do the honours of photographing his wedding and also their couples’ session. Of course I couldn’t turn it down. There is always some sort of pressure whenever you’re shooting for a fellow photographer whose work you respect. In this case, I didn’t really have much to do as Adebayo and his beautiful fiancee, Sotonye, pretty much did all the work with no direction. Thanks to Jeffery for assisting on this one.

Enjoy!
