For IMAGO , A Nigerian Cinematographer’s Journey Through Nollywood ❤️
Honoured to be featured on @imagocinematography latest article. Thank you IMAGO, Nollywood to the world.
Please don’t miss the full on imago.org
Link in my bio.
Delighted to have joined a talented bunch of Cinematographers from around the world to test and create with the new Arri Alexa super 35mm. Honoured to have collaborated with an amazing local production crew in Lagos, Nigeria led by our producer @aduloju.john
The Alexa 35 launched a few days ago and these are some of my observations;
This is the fastest Arri camera ever made and it also comes with an Enhanced Sensitivity mode for low light conditions.
I’m particularly happy about the colour accuracy, the reproduction of colours is sublime and it works so well for black skin tones.
The Alexa 35 is also compatible with our favourite spherical or anamorphic lenses. The highlights roll off impeccable and the Alexa has 17 stops of dynamic range.
The Alexa 35 also allows you choose from a variety of texture which largely influences how the camera sees the world you are creating.
Kindly check out my next post for some stills of the deliciousness we created with the Alexa 35

Some stories are made to be seen.
Others are made to be felt.
EVI premiered as a powerful expression of both .. bringing together music, performance, and storytelling in a way that holds your attention from the very first frame.
Captured on the Canon EOS C400, the film reflects what’s possible when creative vision meets imaging excellence.. delivering depth, detail, and emotion with absolute clarity.
We celebrate the storytellers behind EVI .. Writer and Director Missy Uyi, Producer Judith Audu, and Cinematographer Barnabas Emordi, for bringing this vision to life.
🎥 In cinemas nationwide from March 27.

Certaines histoires sont faites pour être vues.
D'autres sont faites pour être ressenties.
EVI s'est imposé dès sa sortie comme une expression puissante de ces deux aspects... en mêlant musique, jeu d'acteur et narration d'une manière qui captive l'attention dès la toute première image.
Tourné avec le Canon EOS C400, le film illustre ce qu'il est possible de réaliser lorsque la vision créative rencontre l'excellence en matière d'imagerie... en offrant profondeur, détails et émotion avec une clarté absolue.
Nous rendons hommage aux créateurs derrière EVI : la scénariste et réalisatrice Missy Uyi, la productrice Judith Audu et le directeur de la photographie Barnabas Emordi, pour avoir donné vie à cette vision.
🎥 Dans les salles de cinéma du pays à partir du 27 mars.
