Bisola Mofeoluwa Bamuyiwa is the Nigerian photographer blowing up the Internet with her breathtaking portraits.
Even more amazing is that she’s entirely self-trained from online videos, including YouTube!
Now the owner of BMB Studio in Lagos, Nigeria, Bamuyiwa purchased her first camera while studying project management in college and started by taking photographs at her friends’ parties.
She turned her side hustle into a career in 2012 and seems to be loving even the challenging parts – like cranky clients – which she says help her grow as a photographer and artist.
Take a look at these glamorous photos!
