Lana Okafor

Lana Okafor shoots the way she sees — subject-first, available light, documentary energy. Based in Lagos, she works across portraits, weddings, and cultural events, looking for the frame that feels like it was already there before she arrived. Her approach is quiet, patient, and collaborative: she spends time with people before she photographs them, so the camera becomes an afterthought.

Her work has appeared in Vanguard Style, Nataal, and OkayAfrica. She is available for commissions in Lagos, Accra, and Nairobi, and travels further for the right project.
