HOW THE JOURNEY INTO SPORT PHOTOGRAPHY BEGAN.
During my skill learning days i was luck enough to meet a man who later became a brother Faro Abdul-rahman Ayinde he was also an ex student of the learning institution i was learning my skill. He is also a sport photographer and a FIFA licensed Football Referee ,he shared his own story and that motivated me to pick interest in the sport sector mind you not yet as a means of income because i wanted to become a Military personnel...
I was a football player at FC Robo International male team then and i began my first sport work at the NWFL game between ROBO QUEENS and Confluence Queens Fc of kogi state.. Faro had earlier promised to teach me about sport photography but his busy schedule never made it worked out i have to use my initiative during the game to take pictures,after the match i was lucky to meet a sister who later turned mentor Justina Aniefiok a CAF and FIFA accredited sport photographer,after the game faro saw my works and he called me and he explained my errors to me and corrected me same as Justina Aniefiok.
Another opportunity after the Female football i was able to capture a trilling game of the Lagos state Federation cup against Ikorodu City FC and first bank football club which Faro happens to be the center referee,i pulled alot together and it came up with amazing image during the game.. i continued working with Faro's camera and the rest became stories, i continue to practice with my grassroot team FC ROBO INTERNATIONAL and that earned me a job appointment as the team media officer sice 2023-till date.
Fast forward to my first international game coverage between The Nigeria Super Falcons Of Nigeria and the Green ladies of Algeria
Which i will greatly thank Justina Aniefiok for her effort to see me get accredited during the game(that was when i decide to take up sport photography as a full time work, because if you are not known you might not be accorded full respect,her name paved the way for me)...
After the game i met with alot of rising and big names in the industry who we now roll and work together such as and so on ...........

MY INSPIRING STORY...
MY PHOTOGRAPHY JOURNEY....

INTRODUCTION:
As i sit own and write i reflect on my journey,i remembered the wise word of Nelson Mandela "The greatest glory in living lies not in every falling,but in rising every time we fall"..

My written documentary is based on how i break through every hurdle a d obstacle to achieve my goals...
CHAPTER 1:
My photography journey began during my tender age,when i love handling the smart phone camera even as little as i am.
My parents gave their constant supportand encouragement by giving me their smart phones to use them every Sunday during and after the service.... My love for photography increased when i started watching Nat Geo wild and it was fascinated on how those animals pictures were taken. At age 5 i was old and bold enough to handle the camera we call point and kill camera which was the type of camera we use for family outing then during beach outing and the likes...
I began putting effort into photography during each family function i will always make sure i am with a smart phone to take pictures and to showcase my talents,mind you i never planned taking photography as a full time work.. At secondary school i was a passionate sport lover and a member of the school team. The picture that got my attention the most was the amazing image of Cristiano Ronaldo overhead kick against Juventus in the UEFA Champions League quarter final in year 2018 April. I began drifting my attention to sport photography.
Fast forward to how i began learning it full time,after my secondary school i wanted to learn a skill and photography was never in my mind as at then (because i believed i am working confidently well in that area after i already know how to use the digital camera well at church and also how to handle the 4k camera for video).. Getting to the center i was optimistic of choosing computer learning but to my surprise no more admission in that department... Then the admin said to me why not take photography as a skill then suddenly my interest came up again and the rest were history...
