"Photography is documenting life as it happens, it's capturing the decisive, unexpected and unique. Over the years, my style and work have changed but I've always focused on street portraits, with a side of architecture." ~ Ope Odueyungbo Although Ope currently shoots for global brands like Audi, Adidas, and American Express, the idea of being a photographer didn't cross his mind until he was in college. Now, just a few years later, he routinely posts stunning images to his nearly 100,000 Instagram followers. A Londoner from New Cross, Ope less often displays another side of his work - a personal photographic journey that has taken him to nearly every continent on the globe, including Nigeria, where his parents are from and still home to his grandmother and extended family. Ope's unusual aesthetic sensibility reveals his vision of the world, viewed with eternal optimism and hope.
