Hi everyone! Happy holiday! (if your work allows). So if you
are social media savvy, you will know that there are photographers and there
are PHOTOGRAPHERS. Today we are crushing on a PHOTOGRAPHER. With unusual eyes
and an impressive knack for creating images, Yemi Teibo is documenting moments
for generations unborn.

1) You take very creative shots, how do you choose stories
to create?
First of all I like to say I think upside down I'm quite
spontaneous I don't like to create stories I let the story create itself as it
is. That way there's no limit to what will be created but then I have certain
principles that guide me.
2) What are the 'ingredients' for a perfect shot?
For a perfect shot the most important thing is lighting you
just have to get it right, then secondly the subject whoever or whatever you
are shooting has to be on the same page with you and also express themselves at
the same time, lastly your camera as a whole it's settings, your lens, your
camera angles and positioning all have to speak the same language at the same
time, like an orchestra.
3) What's been the most memorable photo shoot you've ever
had?
My first ever pre-wedding shoot the client hired two
separate photographers and on the day of the shoot, I came with my camera and
two lenses and my light. Then I saw the other photographer and all the
equipment he brought.I was intimidated and too shy to even bring out my own
equipment but then I picked myself up took the pictures and left already
expecting the clients to pick his pictures over mine because of all he brought; so I Went home that day, I edited the pictures and delivered only for me to see
almost all my pictures mostly used and the other photographer's own rarely
used. It's memorable because I didn't let what I saw bring me down. I still went
to give my best and it paid off. I will never forget that experience.
4) What are your days usually like?
well, I don't have days or a typical I just have hours of
life because most times when everyone is asleep I'm up shooting, editing,
designing or reading when everyone is awake I'm probably resting but then I'm a
serial entrepreneur too so if I'm not shooting, editing, designing, resting and
I'm in meetings trying to seal deals here and there and I also design clothes
my collection is coming out soon. But one thing I never forget to do in my
"hours of life" is praise God. He is the reason for
everything.
5) How do you keep yourself constantly inspired?
My inspiration comes
from God when I praise him he inspires me. My emotions also inspires me When
I'm very happy I create different when I'm down I create different. Good music
also inspires. I listen to I lot of music and finally I let other photographers
inspire me too. I surf the internet a lot in search of all kinds of images
that suits my style and let them inspire me.
WOW, that was a lot of wisdom to hold on to.
Stay Inspired!
