BOP PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE WEEK: ANNY ROBERTS

Anny Roberts began his career in photography in 2014. Since then, he has become the rare Nigerian photographer that is considered a household name, boasting an enviable clientele that includes presidential aspirants, Donald Duke, Afro-pop juggernaut, Davido, and Forbes richest woman in Africa, Folorunsho Alakija.

Anny has managed to carve a niche for himself in a field that has become immensely saturated, drawing inspiration from spaces, light, and people. Anny captures images that are undeniably breathtaking. This has made his signature portraits inspirational, earning him both nationwide and global attention.

His interest in art was born out of a hunger to connect. As a self-professed introvert, he seeks to bond with people by translating, in fragments, exactly how he views the world – predominately in light and colours. His mode of communication tends to be more visual, and his work speaks for itself.
