"Photography is documenting life as it happens, it's capturing the
decisive, unexpected and unique. Over the years, my style and work have
changed but I've always focused on street portraits, with a side of
architecture." Ope Odueyungbo
Although Ope currently shoots for global brands like Audi, Adidas, and
American Express, the idea of being a photographer didn't cross his mind
until he was in college. Now, just a few years later, he routinely posts
stunning images to his nearly 100,000 Instagram followers. A Londoner
from New Cross, Ope less often displays another side of his work - a
personal photographic journey that has taken him to nearly every
continent on the globe, including Nigeria, where his parents are from
and still home to his grandmother and extended family. Ope's unusual
aesthetic sensibility reveals his vision of the world, viewed with
eternal optimism and hope.
