GREATEST: Stephen Tayo
Celebrating the colors and textures of Ebute Metta, the photographer's Lagos neighborhood.
Photographer: Stephen Tayo
Writer: Kristin Anderson
My work is a reflection of my heritage and my surroundings. For this series, I paired models Feyi and Seun together for a colorful story shot in Ebute Metta, the Lagos neighborhood I currently reside in. The photos feature the vibrant shades I experience every day as well as some of the colonial architecture the area is known for. I'm continuously inspired by the neighborhood, from the community and culture to the colors and textures. This editorial celebrates Ebute Metta and the individuality of its people, my neighbors.
