**Check out our latest interview with Osage, the founder of Abuja Photo Fest, as he discusses the power of visual storytelling and the impact of international recognition on a photographer’s journey.**
*Foreign photography is an art of teleport in the past into the future,* said Muhammad Murat Ildan. This means that photography preserves memories that are forever gone. In today’s episode of Creative Lounge, we have the opportunity to sit down with the renowned founder of Abuja Photo Fest, Osage. As an international curator and advocate for social change, Osage utilizes his photography as a tool to connect, inspire, and impact society.
Throughout our conversation, Osage shares his experiences and insights about the importance of visual storytelling and the role it plays in shifting mindsets. Visual storytelling, he explains, is the art of using imagery to communicate ideas, philosophies, beliefs, and worldviews. In today’s imagery-driven society, where people react to images before even reading the accompanying text, visual storytelling has become an incredibly powerful tool.
As a documentary photographer, Osage reveals how he makes his work relevant by understanding the issues he wants to address and by strategically and artistically conveying his thoughts through photography. By capturing specific narratives through his lens, he aims to push an agenda and communicate aspects of truth in a visually compelling way.
Osage also touches on the importance of international recognition in a photographer’s journey. He shares his own experience of visiting the art spaces in the United States and how it opened his mind to the grand scale of photography on an international level. International exposure allows photographers to learn from and be inspired by their peers across the world, pushing their creative boundaries and broadening their perspectives.
By watching this interview, you’ll gain valuable insights into the world of visual storytelling and the significance of international recognition in a photographer’s career. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to hear from an influential figure in the photography community.
