Faces of Africa in Bisola Bamuiva's photo project
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/faces-of-africa-in-bisola-bamuivas-photo-project.htmlPhotographer from Nigeria Bisola Mofeoluwa Bamuyiwa (Bisola Mofeoluwa Bamuyiwa) first picked up a camera in high school. The first project of the schoolgirl was a graduation ball, shot with an old digital camera. The shooting fascinated the girl so much that she started looking for photography lessons on the Internet and quickly turned from a timid amateur into a professional. Now Bisola owns a photo studio in Lagos, and she has been repeatedly recognized as the best photographer in the country.
Bisola Bamuiva works in a variety of genres of photography. But most of all she likes to create portraits. It is not often possible to find her in the studio — a woman travels around Africa, looking for expressive images for new works. The portraits of the inhabitants of the Black continent made by Bamuiva are always very lively and sincere.
The photographer is most interested in unusual faces. Bisola wants to show that the population of Africa is very diverse and there are beautiful people everywhere. These are not necessarily models that meet the accepted canons. A variety of men, women and children pose for the photographer.
Someone travels across Africa in search of expressive faces, and someone hunts kings and chiefs. French photographer Daniel Lane has shot 70 African monarchs in just three years.
