| Adobe Lightroom Classic Splash Screen Artist | . . At this moment, my heart beats faster, my face shines with a smile. Words cannot describe how I feel, I am beyond happy to announce that my artwork is the new Splash Screen Image for Adobe @lightroom Classic 2022. I remember very well like it was yesterday when all I had was a dream, with hope in my heart and a fight within to set myself free from the fear of taking the next bold and different step. I invested everything I had into getting my first camera, into learning to walk my path and starting my journey, into making my dreams real, to understand my purpose and to know who I truly am. Fast forward 5 years and I honestly never imagined that I'll see my work as the Splash screen for Adobe Lightroom Classic every single time I open the program to complete my stories. This gives me a stronger feeling of hope, an ignition to keep going, not just for myself but for everyone with a story to tell. I'm extremely grateful to God for his guidance and to @adobe , @lightroom and @katrin_eismann for this beautiful opportunity. Each year, @Adobe commissions artists from a variety of disciplines and styles to show off the power of creative cloud by creating custom artwork to represent each product. This Artwork is meant to demonstrate the power of Adobe's tools and show off the skill of the creative community. . . .................................................................... #photograph #photographer #sonya7riv #photographers_tr #photographie #landscape_captures #photographers #photographysouls #portrait #photographs #beautiful #photographylovers #accra #outdoorphotography #ghana #pictureoftheday #bethewater #legs #bealpha #africa #believeinyourself #african #beauty #realfriends #blackexcellence

| Infinite ∞| . . Explaining how I feel in words can be one of the most difficult things I try to do. So, I turn to pictures because they hold an infinite flow of words and a beautiful story to tell and learn from, not just for myself but for everyone. How do you know where to turn to when you find yourself lost ? Sometimes it's as simple as just closing your eyes and opening your heart, it somehow always knows where you're meant to be and guides you on that path of purpose to an infinite flow of love, joy and hope. It's really exciting but also comes with fear, I guess that's how you know you found the right turn to an infinite beautiful story. . . © 2021 Michael Aboya I Reserve And Own All Rights To My Works. . .

| Even My Storms Bloom | . . Right there in the middle of all that gray, in the center of it all, my storm blooms. Where others saw thunder, there were petals learning how to fall softly. Where others heard noise, there was a quiet heart still beating with grace. The clouds above me were never empty of beauty; they were only carrying it in a language few could understand. Their darkness was not cruelty, but depth. Their rain was not sorrow, but release. And every flash that once frightened me was only light trying to find its way through. So if you ever see a sky like mine, do not fear its color. Some storms do not come to destroy the earth. Some come to water the gardens hidden within it. . . . . © 2026 Michael Aboya.

Imagine What It Feels Like to Fly🪽 Close your eyes and imagine, imagine rising beyond yourself, imagine becoming weightless and free, imagine dancing with the wind. The horizon hums with becoming as you lift from the earth, as if answering a rhythm older than memory. Time seemed to loosen its grip, stretching around us like a ribbon of light, leaving only the pure essence of flight. That is what it felt like in here, their bodies carved arcs through the sky, turning flight into choreography, turning possibility into motion. They were not escaping, they were ascending, rising on the wings of what could be. Every leap was a promise, every suspension a reminder that gravity is only one story we can choose to tell. Even the air trembled with the music of becoming, a call to trust the wind, to surrender to the dance, and to let yourself be carried home. . • Michael Aboya’s (@aboya.8 ) incredible work captures the soul of Ghana 🇬🇭 in every shot.

| Seen, Not Spoken | What Words Couldn’t Say . . Anytime I pick up my camera to shoot and capture the moment, the first thing I look out for is the gaze, the eyes. Not because of their color, but because of the stories held within them… the stories your mouth left untold. Some stories don’t need words. They live in quiet glances, in the way light dances across a pupil, in the softness or strength behind a stare. They live in resilience, in joy that refuses to hide, in pain that learned how to smile anyway. Photography, for me, is not about perfection. It’s about truth. It’s about capturing those fleeting, unguarded moments where someone’s story slips through the cracks and reveals itself, raw, beautiful, and real. So the next time you meet someone, look beyond what is said. Pay attention to the eyes. There’s always more there, more depth, more meaning, more humanity. Let your eyes tell your story. Let them inspire, connect, and brighten the world around you. . . © 2026 Michael Aboya.

| Wild and Free | . . We ran like the world had no edges, like time had forgotten our names. Bare feet against water and earth, laughter spilling louder than the river itself. We didn’t chase freedom, we were it. In every splash, every shout, every breathless race toward nowhere, yet feeling like everything. Now the world feels smaller somehow, measured, careful, and contained. But sometimes, in the quiet, I still hear echoes of those days calling me back to the water, reminding me that wild is not lost, only waiting. And free… free is something we remember before we learn to forget. . . © 2026 Michael Aboya. I Reserve And Own All Rights To My Works.

| Rebirth Beneath The Surface | . . I believe the most meaningful kind of change is the one that begins quietly within, forming in places no one can see and slowly making its way outward until it reveals itself on the surface. It starts deep, moves with intention, and becomes impossible to contain. That is real change, the kind that lasts. And in becoming something more, we are not turning into something unfamiliar, we are uncovering what has always been there. There is something honest in that stillness, in moments where everything softens and all that remains is your breath, where nothing is asked of you but to simply be, even in the depths. Because what rises has always belonged to you. It does not begin in the light, but in darkness, in the unseen work of becoming. So when it finally opens, it is not a sudden transformation, it is a quiet unfolding of something that was always meant to emerge. . . © 2026 Michael Aboya.

| Color Of Us | . . Simple, yet beautiful, one of those moments that reminds you time is fleeting. One moment you're little, the next not so much. One moment you're here, the next you're not. I guess that’s how we learn to make the most of it all. In the end, the colors that shine from you into me are the same ones I once carried quietly inside my chest, the part of my heart that decided to walk outside of my body. And maybe that’s the miracle of it all… we never really lose ourselves. We live on in the light we pass forward. . . © 2026 Michael Aboya.

| Inner Core | . . Dream a little, don’t ask for permission, take a deep breath and keep the motion, keep the flow, jump over every single hurdle, set yourself free. Let the heat of your flames sharpen you, let the cold in the air teach you how to endure, because the dream isn’t waiting at the end, it’s in every step you take forward, in the center of it all, where fire and breath meet, and you rise exactly as you are. This image began as a drawing, a quiet moment where the idea existed before the world did. Sketching the vision first allowed me to understand the feeling I wanted to step into, long before the camera ever came out. The photograph isn’t a capture of chance, but the completion of a thought. . . © 2026 Michael Aboya.

| Around the Sun | . . Here’s to another trip around the sun, to the moments that make you feel more alive, to the warmth of freedom, to the feeling of home. It’s okay to wander off the path from time to time, but never forget your way back, to your inner child, to your light. That is where you need to be. Here’s to the moments when you become the sunshine for others, when they can’t find the light themselves. Because just living is not enough, we all need a little sunshine, a little freedom, a splash of joy, and a hand to hold as we move around the sun. . . © 2026 Michael Aboya.

A year of finding my way, one frame at a time. Learning to see through photography, people, and myself as I go. It’s been a tough one, but in the end, the outcomes and the stories always turn out beautiful. On to the next chapter, we go again. #recap #2025 #photographers #journey #beautiful
