Nigerian Photographer Exposes The Truth Behind His Instagram-Worthy Photos (30 Pics)
What does one need to take a great photo? Well, that entirely depends on each person: some need a great camera, others want a perfect spot, while some are more concerned about the angle or lighting of their photo. In the case of Nigerian photographer Ibor Edosa Victor, however, it is not necessarily about the environment itself, but rather about the vision and how you can take advantage of things around you.
With over 189k followers, Ibor shows his fans that one doesn’t necessarily need perfect settings to take an amazing photo. The photographer gladly shares the behind the scenes of his photos, and his audience seems to love it! His unique approach to the art of photography is already quite impressive but seeing how such photos are taken in real time is even more interesting for some of his fans.

Bored Panda reached out to Ibor to find out a little bit more about him and his passion for photography.
“I believe I went to do photography because I was bored, not because it was a passion. However, over time it simply became a passion. Everything in life inspires me to photograph, good, bad, sad, and happy moments that come and pass.”

she is splendid....i wont be able to draw her even after eternities of trying infinite times....
The lengths in which Ibor will go to capture the perfect photo is simply stating—impressive. He often shoots in environments that are not optimized for snapping photos—such as those with poor lighting—and he gets creative with how he crafts compositions. The behind-the-scenes shots are definitely not the most glamorous, but it goes to prove that you’d never realize the photographer's staging if he didn't share the photos.

This reminds me when my ID pic was taken on the roadside of a Kaduna, Nigeria road. Trust me, the quality wasn't that good ;-)
It seems that Ibor likes to show how he takes his photos with a "low budget" or what would one assume is a bad location. All of that combined just goes to show that there are no excuses when it comes to taking a picture that had in mind! Ideas can come to life if one tries hard enough, all it takes is practice and a little bit of creativity.

Very co-operative babies! Also, the photographer puts in a lot of dark backgrounds, looks good, adds contrast and drama.
