Nnebuifé Kwubeï

Nnebuifé Kwubeï is a writer and photographer based in Lagos, Nigeria. Inconsolably nostalgic and fascinated by the evocative and contrasting powers of shadows, Kwubei makes extensive use of the chiaroscuro technique in his signature black-and-white portraits, creating striking images infused with tender melancholia and cunning poetry. Kwubeï has had his photography project "Dogoyaro" exhibited in the This is Gender 2020 initiative held in the North Cloisters at University College London, and his Taye—The Cosmonaut series exhibited in the Young Photographers Exhibit at Alliance Francaise De Lagos.
