Sara Utom Weyimi George Umo

My full name is Sara Utom Weyimi George Umo. I am a Nigerian photographer raised in Dublin, Ireland, and I am 21 years old. I have always been drawn to the arts: stories, images, and the many ways we portray human experience. I write, and over the last five years, I’ve become deeply committed to film and photography.

My photography is an extension of my wider creative world: my writing, my visual art, and the thoughts and feelings I try to bring into physical form. My work is artistic and introspective. I aim to communicate emotion, internal landscapes, and moments of reflection; capturing them in a way that invites viewers to interpret and connect. In many ways, my photographs are a reflection of myself: my experiences, my observations, and sometimes a sense of longing and escapism.

My inspiration comes from my Christian faith, from nature, and from the people around me, my friends, my family, as well as music and other art forms like poetry and paintings.

I am still growing and refining my craft, but storytelling and connection remain at the centre of my work. If my art is what I leave behind, then I plan to shape it into something meaningful and memorable.

I study Single Honours Law, but I have developed a deep interest in photography in the last 5 years.
