Today, we meet Adebayo Yusuf; his wonderful wife inspired him to start Godson Studio; she saw that he was very passionate about photography. This passion then turned into Godson Studio, which has now been running for two years. Adebayo enjoys networking and meeting like-minded people, and “photo – journalling” his daughter. In the future, he sees himself owning a media studio that will encourage young people to experiment creatively using photography.
