Lagos Lives On: Money Talks Limited Edition of 20
Lagos, Nigeria’s largest and most dynamic city, is a place of extremes, where wealth and poverty, modernity and tradition, chaos and order coexist and collide.
This photo, part of my #LagosLivesOn series, captures a moment of mystery and intrigue in the city. It shows a young man holding a 1,000-naira note, with his arms and hands crossed behind his back to form an X. He was walking on the street in front of me, and I took this shot quickly. What message was he sending with his gesture? Was he proud or ashamed of his money? Was he flaunting or hiding it? Was he happy or sad?
This photo is part of my first photo book, published in 2019, which was an assemblage of moments of everyday Lagos. It was a project that challenged me to capture the essence and diversity of the city, and to tell its stories through images. It was also a project that made me reflect on my own values and goals as a journalist and a human being. And how street photography can be a window to the soul and a mirror of one’s struggles.
This photograph is available as a squared print of 20, size 10.5 inches by 10.5 inches, and printed on fine art paper high-quality Hahnanuhle photo rag paper, using Giclée - archival pigment inkjet and printed by a professional lab in the UK and Germany, ensuring the best colour and detail production.
