Logor Olumuyiwa wears many hats, as a Project Manager, Creative Director, Market Researcher, but he started out as a street photographer. In 2014, Olumuyiwa quit his job working for a real estate company to focus on photography.
The young artist has always been inspired by the city of Lagos, its sights, scenes and smells and this reflects in his work. In Monochrome Lagos, Olumuyiwa strips Lagos of its vibrant colours, to reveal, if anything, what might lie beneath.
He describes Lagos and how it inspires him to What’s On Africa, ‘I set out to photograph Lagos, seeking to capture the mysteries of the city, the theatrics and arrangement of almost everything, the poetic juxtapositions of its residents, how they relate to the city and vice versa. Most importantly, I seek the beauty in her forms, lines, patterns, textures, by stripping her of one of her most obvious features, her ‘colour’’.
The artist has created several collections of works, Urban Legend, A Buffet of Light, Darkness and Forms and he is not slowing down.
Logor is credited as a Line Manager and Ist Assistant Director for Beyonce’s Black Is King.
