About Xsightn Photography:

Xsightn Photography is a Nigeria based fashion, wedding and lifestyle photography outfit. We love to think our approach to wedding photography is both fresh and urban. We pride ourselves of being one of the top wedding photographers in Nigeria, shooting high-end weddings for Nigerian couples based outside Nigeria. In 2010 we were privileged to shoot weddings for Nigerian brides based in the USA, UK, South Africa, Canada and Cameroon . While I started off shooting weddings, I have discovered a brand new love for fashion photography. "I love the fact that i am a wedding photographer and I feel so incredibly lucky to be able to capture and document, the memories, love, look and the happiness in my work" "I approach my wedding photography in a way that leads to an intimate and artful expression resulting in images that reflect your unique personality, capturing the natural mood of the day that will be cherished in your family for years to come." Kayode(the lead photographer) started his career in IT before training under some of the world's best known photographers. Throughout his photography career, Xsightn has developed a unique style of creating timeless imagery. He draws inspiration for everything around him, from movies and television, to literary figures and, of course, journalism.

    African nigerian bride





    The Traditional Yoruba Wedding of Bukky and Lekan

    January 30th, 2013



    Here are pictures from one of the last Nigerian weddings we covered in 2012. The couple are from the Yourba tribe in Nigeria and thus had a very traditional Yoruba wedding.

    Both based in the UK, Bukola and Lekan came back home to tie knots. The wedding was indeed very colourful as you will see from the images. It was a special wedding for me to cover as the bride is friends with my wife and it was through this union we landed the gig.

    One of the cool things about this wedding was that I knew alot of the guest, at a point I handed my camera to one of the guest so I could get in the picture too, you will find that image down there somewhere. I shot this wedding with very minimum gear and had to do a lot of “moving back” to get my images.

    Here are some of the images from the Nigerian Traditional Yourba Wedding (that’s a mouth full) of Bukola and Lekan Shiwoku.

    StudioMO is a leading photography and design studio based in Lagos, Nigeria. We do alot of fashion and wedding photography work and have shot for some of the very biggest names in Nigeria. We are particularly very passionate about shooting Nigerian weddings.

    New York Model Photo shoot – By StudioMO Nigeria

    January 30th, 2013

    I was in New York quite recently to attend to some business while I was in town I got to hangout with Steve Hardy and his crew at the Lighthouse Studios in Brooklyn New York to shoot some new models.

    It was a full house with loads of photographers,makeup artists, stylist and models.

    I had such a great time. Also it was a big break for me, getting to shoot outside of my comfort zone. I typically shoot mostly nigerian weddings but this time around I got to do some international fashion photography work.

    The shoot was for a magazine and the theme was centered around tattoos (never seen so many tattoos in one place at the same time)

    In between taking cover from the cold, I got  a few decent images and made a few friends, ( Holla Nicole !!!)

    These images haven’t been properly retouched, I have just played around with colours to give them this final look.

    Here are some of my images from the shoot

    Need to get more gist on this shoot, head out to the Studio’s website

    Nigerian Photographer – 2012 ends

    December 31st, 2012

    What a remarkable year 2012 was for us as professional Nigerian photographers. Since the transition to StudioMO, things have just gone really fast and we owe it all to the almighty God.

    Our Studio has been very busy.

    We finally moved into our studio facility in Magodo GRA in Lagos which by the way is only open for special projects icon smile Nigerian Photographer 2012 ends

    Remember most of all my photography talk and blog post can now be found on our new StudioMO photography website here, I simply update this page just to let you guys know the Xsightn brand lives on but now as StudioMO.

    Here’s a quick round up of somethings we are doing at the studio.

    Below are some pictures from our last wedding of the year, the wedding of Bukky and Lekan which took place in Ikeja just over the weekend. The couple are based in Ireland and came home to tie the knots. It was a truely colourful expereince and we wish the couple a very happy married life together. Nigerian weddings are our thing, so if you have someone out of the country coming home soon to get married here in Nigeria be sure to recommend us to them, just direct them to our website and we will take it from there. or share our email info@studiomo.com.ng with them.

    The pictures from the wedding below I shot entirely with a Nikon 70-200 lens and trust me when I say I didn’t miss the other lens, it all takes knowing your equipment like the back of your hands and knowing how each gear you own as Nigerian photographers would perform under different lighting conditions even without shooting test shots. Not a single image from this session was shot below iso 2000 with quite a lot even shot at iso 5000 and above. No flash was used. There are not many cameras out there than can get away with shooting useable iso 5000 and above images, so the quality of the equipment is also very important. There is a picture of me down there too which was taken by my wife at the event, hope you guys even know what I look like o…

    I recently was in New York for two weeks attending film school. Fimmaking is something that we have seriously being getting interested in, the creative and expressive potentials of video as a medium are quite remarkable. I spent about two weeks in New York learning from some of the top names in the industry. We are back home with all the very top gear we need to make cinema quality productions so be sure to watch this space. This year we were also on official photography assignment in London, South Africa, Atlanta(USA) the UAE and the Gambia.

    Our very first wedding photography assignment for 2013 is billed to hold in the Republic of Benin, a destination wedding to start the new year is always an awesome thing. 2013 is already looking like a lot more international engagement for  two of Nigeria’s leading photographers (us of course)

    There is so much to talk about regarding our photography but head out to our new page and catch up on everything yourself.

    Below are the pictures I promised you.

    Be sure to check it out !!

    When I started off shooting Nigerian weddings a few years back, my favourite lens used to be the super amazing 24-70mm 2.8 lens by Nikon, how time has changed. It was ( and still is) a safe lens and I even remember using it 90% of the time during my shoots too. I say safe lens because it was just that, a safe lens, it guaranteed nailing each and every shot first time, every time, the relatively short focal range made for very steady holding and focusing in dimly lit scenes.

    It was also the only original Nikon glass in my camera bag at the time, so I used it as much as heavenly possible.

    The problem now is, I find myself using that lens much less these days. Often times, I don’t even take it along in my camera bag anymore.

    Ok, so I wouldn’t really call it a problem, because what I think has happened is that I have found my style for shooting weddings and the lens just doesn’t seem to fit in on my typical wedding shoot. I mostly  still use it a lot for some of my walk around sessions or documentary work but for weddings, I have so many super cream lens to chose from, this baby always gets left behind. So sad really, because it really is a very lovely lens, with premium glass with ridiculously sharp images.

    Ok so which lens have stepped up to the forefront to take the number one position in my kit? If you follow my work you will know I am super in love with my 70-200, its by far my very best lens for shooting just about anything.(I have been know to even shoot group pictures with this lens) The 14-24mm Nikon lens, doesn’t automatically come to mind as a wedding photography lens, but trust me when I say this lens rocks any wedding, you just need to know how and when  to use.

    Ok, so armed with my 2 Nikon bodies; the 70-200 on one and the 14-24mm on the other, I am perfectly primed to rock just about any wedding.

    I would love to hear what you Nigerian Photographers out there consider to be the very best lens for wedding photography.

    And because a picture is worth a thousand words, here are two images taken with my 2 favourite lens, hope you can spot the difference icon smile

    PS : Just had to quickly mention the Nikon 85mm 1.4 . This is my go to glass when the lights gets very bad. Absolutely stunning images are produced by this lens, if you can afford it, get it !!!
