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.

    Nigeria weddings

    Monday, November 23rd, 2009

    Writing this blog post from the Dubai International Airport.

    Been away from Nigeria for about 6 days now attending some photography workshop in the UAE. The city is beautiful.

    In my opinion, everybody needs to visit the UAE before they die.

    Away from all the talk about the UAE, the workshop organized by the guys at the Gulf Photo Plus, brought together 5 of the best photographers in the world.

    I had the opportunity to learn from and shoot with them for the past couple of days, topics ranging from corporate photography, portaits, available light techniques, flash techniques, workflow enhancements and the business side of photography.

    I was partcularly drawn to both Bobbi Lane and David Tejada, 2 photographers that i have always held in awe, their classes were both fantastic and i learnt more from my sessions with them than in few years in photography combined, period.

    Bobbi is down to earth and an exceptional teacher, David is a funny man turned photographer with an unparalleled mastery of flash photography using small strobes.

    I have had talks with both photographers and they both want to do a workshop in Nigeria with Xsightn as host, i am currently working on this now and will update you when we start putting all the papers in order. So watch out Nigeria, Bobbi Lane and David Tejada to visit Nigeria very soon.

    I got to meet and make friends with Photographer’s from all over the world, professionals from Iran, Pakistan, the US, the UK, Germany, Eygypt, France, Canada and a whole lot more.

    Don’t really have much to talk about right now, so i will go offline, i have loads of amazing pictures to upload though and will do so soon, remember to also join us on facebook to get all the latest information first.  http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Lagos/Nigeria-Wedding-and-Portrait-Photography

    Below is one of my new pictures taken during preparations for a photo shoot.
