Who is Francis?

Francis Ogunyemi is a Nigerian-born visual artist and storyteller, documenting life and matter using photography.

With a strong passion about telling stories, he believes in photography to be a 'super power' to make impacts, set right values and rewrite wrong narratives, as he takes interest in people, places, environmental sustainability and life in its rawness. His ideology about photography is to help tell a 'complete story'.

Photography for him is a tool to see the complexities of life in everyday living, and to tell socially inclined and practical issues concerning our environment, looking into the consequences of our actions and inactions.

He is one of the founders of Combing The Streets (CTS) - a street photography collective, and currently member at Indigenous Photographs, Diversify Photos and African Photojournalism Database (APJD), an alumnus of Echeta. His works has been exhibited (and featured) on NatGeo, ICP Museum, COP26 at Glasgow,  Hamburg Portfolio Review, TED Countdown Summit in Edinburgh,  Lagos Photo Festival '20, NO! Wahala Magazine, EXPOSED! Conference, and 24HourProject Finland Exhibitions, among many others.
