An afternoon with Chris, making portraits together.

From Outside the Bubble, a long-term project documenting the people and everyday rhythms that make a place feel like home.

I’m starting to realise I photograph people the way I remember places.

Been following .cavemen around Lagos since 2019. Intimate gigs. Tiny rooms. Maybe 30 to 60 people packed inside, sweating, dancing, screaming like it was already a stadium tour.

I still remember the shows at in Ojota and those sold out nights at Angels & Muse in Ikoyi. Benjamin and Kingsley kept saying, “Scream like we’re on the world’s biggest stage,” while belting out infectious highlife melodies that made you feel like you were sitting in a Ghanaian palm wine joint by the beach in the 60s.

They believed it before everyone else did. And somehow, being in those rooms, you believed it too.

Feels good growing alongside that kind of greatness.

Thank you to everyone who has pre ordered ‘People of Morocco’ already. It genuinely means a lot knowing these photographs are about to live in your homes, on your shelves, beside the things you already love.

Also, owning this book confirms you have excellent taste. Your guests will notice immediately 😎. Been revisiting some favourite photographs from the project lately.

Funny how certain images grow louder with time.

Orders still open via the link in bio.

I must say, I find myself rather taken with these early stirrings. There’s something quietly exhilarating about watching it unfold, knowing full well it will soon demand to be put into words. I look forward to that moment with no small degree of anticipation.
