Logor Oluwamuyiwa

Logor Oluwamuyiwa is a photographer born at the start of the 90's in the city of his fascination, Lagos. As an astute observer, Lagos gives him more than enough to enrich a portfolio. Logor’s interest in visual arts is to be a shrewd observer of the human carnival by capturing and retelling stories from perspectives that are often overlooked, ignored and taken for granted.

He engages his eyes and equipment to show shapes, forms and edifices that heighten the senses and tell a story of their own. Logor’s works revolve around conceptual and documentary style photography. He weaves through visual and digital means to chronicle the eccentricities and beauty of Lagos city in an undiluted manner. He is convinced of the use of digital media to deliver an optimistic and valuable manner to pave the way for a new dialogue and knowledge acquisition. As expected, he lives and works in Lagos, Nigeria. He is a member of the Centre for Contemporary Arts, Video Art Network both in Lagos.
