Obiekwe Okolo

Obiekwe "Obi" Okolo is a Nigerian American photographer, multimedia artist, and designer. A product of two worlds raised in both Lagos, Nigeria and San Antonio, Texas, - his works, from an early career in architecture to his most current explorations in the written word and portraiture, are most concerned with visually articulating the reconciling of humanity to itself. His anthropological approach to portraiture is born from a first career in architecture where he found himself more interested in the humans in the frame, than the buildings themselves.

Obi’s work has been displayed in various mediums, navigating disciplines such as portraiture, documentary photography, product design, and print. In addition to his personal practice, he also serves as Creative Manager of BitterSweet Creative and BitterSweet Monthly, and is one of theTwelve.
