SHOW ME LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY
My role at the evet was an event photographer which meant that I was to take pictures of audience members coming into the event, take different photographic shots of the audience participating and interacting with the performances and pictures of the acts that were show casing their talents. I worked alongside another photographer named Keshia and Yemi.
AK photography which stands for 'Anita and Keshia' was something that we did together so that we could have our logo printed on each photo. It was also another way of publicity that way we could get more recognised.
Here are the pictures that were taking:

My Love for Black and White Photography
These are images that demonstrate my love for black and white photography.
Black and white photography has been used to signify specific characteristics and with it can be argued that black and white photography has connotations of showing the realism of things.

Famous Quotes by Nirrimi Hakanson
Quotes to be remembered by her:
"I was thirteen when I picked up a camera. After that I can't remember ever being without one. This isn't a hobby or a career, it's who I am. It sounds silly but I don't know any other way to describe it. My sisters, friends and even strangers suddenly became my models. Without a family car I'd just wander around, sometimes walking hours to find somewhere to take pictures. The pictures weren't for anything; I just needed to take them. Every day."
“I like scars, they remind you of things”
“i am so thankful sometimes i smile outloud, and as hard and long as you might try you could not break my spirit.”
