Bernard Kalu is a documentary photographer based in Lagos, Nigeria; his work is inspired by a passion to
explore life and humanity.
Photography is drawing with light and he’s adopted it as a tool to not only tell stories but preserve today
for the future. Bernard began working in photography in 2014, exploring street documentary and
creative twists to wedding photography- with Verteller Studios.  He is a certified canon master
storyteller, first runner up in the 2017 NatGeo portfolio review and has been on assignment with a
number of organizations within and outside Nigeria. To mention a few, #MyMakoko project by NBNL,
Respiratory stories for The Lancet, African tourism project by MyAfricanPassport Inc. and so on. Also
he’s a very passionate tutor/mentor to a good number of upcoming visual storytellers.
He had his first exhibition early 2017 at the Revolving Art Gallery.
More recently, he has begun focusing on raising awareness about environmental and social issues in his
home country, Nigeria.
