Child Eating on the Bridge - 2018

Artist: Toni Payne

Medium: Digital Photo

Edition: 1/1

This image is part of a trio consisting of Everyday Africa 07, 08, 09, that complete a story.

Lagos is a fast paced and vibrant city located in the West African nation of Nigeria.

If you pay close attention, there is always a visual story to be told in the streets of Lagos. One common theme you will find is, small scale entrepreneurship is a way of life for many, in what I call the hustle and bustle of Lagos.

The first 50 images of the Everyday Africa collection cover street photography captured in 2018 in different parts of Lagos.

From the Keke Napep driver, to the young girl selling coconuts, people work hard to put food on their tables. It is also not uncommon to find a story within a story in some of these images.

To stay up to date about my work, do follow me on Twitter and Discord for announcements regarding the collection, collector events, and my ongoing and new art. My objective is to connect people around my work using beautiful imagery and building a community of people who share a common interest - Photographic Art.
