Bade Fuwa, a self-taught Lagos-based photographer, explores themes of loss and belonging through his surreal and tender images. Since his mother’s death in 2019, he has utilized photography as a vital means of emotional expression, resulting in bolder work. He began photography in 2023, drawing inspiration from notable photographers of the past. His approach emphasizes the importance of not overthinking the creative process. Nature significantly influences his imagery, as he captures seascapes and integrates floral elements, showcasing a deep connection to the natural world.
I had to force myself to stop feeling emotions so as not to grieve to death from the sadness. It was easy for me to express it all with photography.
I try not to overthink my process or the idea as I believe once you think about it you ruin it.
I study them and their works, not for their style but their story.
I think currently I'm in love with shooting nature; nature is beautiful and never judges.
