About the photographer:
“My name is Obi Nwokedi, and I’m a London based photographer, who with my team, loves shooting weddings, fashion and portraits, however we occasionally photograph other social events, concerts, and night life.”
“I’m afraid, I don’t have any emotional story about getting a camera as my 14th birthday present, or how my father before me was a photographer. I’m a regular IT analyst who a couple of years back, simply happened across some amazing photos online, and a passion was ignited.
