I shot HOPE-literally; Outdoor portraits I created with Hope.

You know how you meet someone for the first time and just feel a connection with them; that's how I felt with Hope.

I met Hope during my national youth service. She was pure vibes and energy. I met her through a friend. I had a photo session with her[my friend], and Hope was her makeup artist for the day. I connected with Hope afterwards.

It almost caused enmity between themselves, because my friend[also Hope's friend] felt I no longer gave her attention. Well, girls will be girls.

During my stay in Uyo[for my national youth service], I had a number of photo sessions with Hope. She was fun to shoot. Here are photos from one of the sessions we had together. My man @anyadan was also present that day.

At the time I created these portraits, I was still finding my way around compositions and color grading. Well, I've been able to improve over time. But these portraits still remain timeless to me.
