Francis Ogunyemi (born 8th December, Nigerian) is a visual artist, and storyteller documenting life and matter using photography.
With a strong passion about telling stories, he believes in photography to be a 'super power' to make impacts, set right values and rewrite wrong narratives, as he takes much interest in people, places, environmental sustainability and life in its rawness. His ideology about photography is to help tell a 'complete story'.
Photography for him is a tool to see the complexities of life in everyday living, and to tell socially inclined and practical issues concerning our environment, looking into the consequences of our actions and inactions.
He is currently a member of the Indigenous Photographs, Diversify Photos and African Photojournalism Database (APJD), and his works has been exhibited (and featured) at the ICP Museum in New York, COP26 at Glasgow, TED Countdown Summit in Edinburgh, Lagos Photo Festival '20, NO! Wahala Magazine, EXPOSED! Conference, and 24HourProject Finland Exhibitions, among others. He also has been trained in institutions like Reuters, Nlele Institute and Echeta Workshop.
