ABONYE AGBA PHOTOGRAPHY

My name is Juliet Jedy Agba, a final year political science student from Cross River state. It has always been my hobby to take pictures of myself and my friends. Seeing that, a friend suggested that I consider becoming a professional photographer since it's something I love very much. Being a student with a few hours of leisure, I jumped on the idea, getting a camera immediately and started taking photography lessons during my free periods in school. I usually ask my friends to model for me so I could practice what I have learnt, often following professional photographers to photo shoots as well.

     

I have always wanted to be like the famous Nigerian female photographer Ty Bello, who has established a household name for herself in Photography all over the country. Hopefully in the next five years, I see myself as the next Ty Bello. 

There are challenges I face in this profession as an upcoming photographer, one of which is financing. Also, the fact that I'm still in school affects me professionally in terms of growing. So my advice to the young and upcoming photographers like myself is don't let anyone intimidate you, please. Keep learning and keep giving in your best. One day you will be that photographer everybody would want to call for a photo shoot.
