About
Meet Oluwayeemi.
A Lagos-based visual artist working with portraits, events, and editorial commissions—who also raises plants for the people who love them.
My photography journey
I make pictures about time, change, and the spaces between us.
My practice began with documenting the people closest to me—family, friends, the rhythms of a Lagos afternoon. It grew into a body of work that now includes editorial commissions, weddings, brand campaigns, and personal projects on memory and place. I shoot quietly. I prefer presence to performance.
My love for plants
Plants came later—and changed everything. Cultivating ornamentals and herbs taught me a slower kind of attention, the kind that makes a photographer better. Today the studio doubles as a small greenhouse, and a portion of every plant we send out leaves with notes for its care.
Creative philosophy
Whether it's a portrait sitting or a calathea finding its window, my work begins with one question: what does this thing want to become? I trust that question, and I bring craft, patience, and a steady eye to the answer.
“I want to make beautiful things, and I want them to last—pictures you'll come back to, and plants that grow with you.”
