Eko Photo Open Exhibition Shows It All: History, Elegance And Culture!




Some of the works on display

 

When the photography art exhibition held its closing ceremony at the Ember Creek, Awolowo Road, Ikoyi  venue on January 20, 2013, 22 photographers dotted the large space with over a 100 pieces of different photographic works. As the collection varied in sizes, so were there contents, but best of all was what they stood for; a historical collection that would tell the lifestyle and things that stayed prominent in today’s day-to-day living among the people.

 

The beautiful collection of works could serve as art decorations for homes, offices, restaurants, hotels and other places. Graced by art lovers, patrons and notable photographers as  Yetunde Babaeko, Seun Akinsanmi, Body Lawson, one of the programme  coordinators, Chuks Ogene, said the certificates of  recognition awarded Yetunde Babaeko, Seun Akinsanmi, Olawale Ajao and Orelaja Akeem by the club, was to appreciate their immense contributions to modern photography, especially in Nigeria.
