About

My non-stage name is Teyi and I love taking pictures for people.

I'm building Photogiraffe one genuine interaction at a time - spreading the love and realness that God gives, through pictures.

I shoot portraits, personal branding sessions, and community events across Lagos, Nigeria. In 2025 alone I took 550+ pictures and edited over 100 more for other photographers, but the number I care about most is the 100+ people I got to actually talk to along the way.

If we work together, expect me to ask questions before I ask you to pose. The best frame usually shows up once you forget the camera's there.
