Artist Statement

“I’m Abdul-Baqi Okoya, a passionate and highly skilled portrait photographer. Originally from Nigeria, I grew up in Newark, New Jersey and there is where I developed my love for photography. With an unwavering love for people and a keen eye for detail, I specialize in creating captivating portraits that reflect the true essence and personality of my subjects. I believe that every person has a unique story to tell, and it is my purpose to translate those stories into breathtaking images that evoke emotions and stand the test of time. Not only tell others’ stories, I want to make sure my story is being told through each photo.”
