Meet Your Photographer: William Ukoh

I am a Nigerian currently based in Toronto, Canada. Growing up, I was constantly surrounded by art – my mum is a collector – and so I developed an interest at an early age. There wasn’t a point where I was ever conscious about artists; top painters, photographers, sculptors, etc. I was never aware of the techniques, styles and accompanying messages with the art pieces. There was just a general interest which I expressed earlier on via drawings. Growing up, the thought of a career as an artist wasn’t exactly encouraged beyond primary school and as such, I never sought to advance any skill I might have had – I played around with editing software and cameras in high-school – but there was no backing knowledge. Fast forward to university, and I was reintroduced to the idea of photography by accident (in a sense). In this accident, I also discovered a passion for story-telling, regardless of the medium (as abstract or as straight forward as possible). Over the years, I have taught myself, practiced, studied, stalked the greats, studied some more, and learned how to take somewhat decent photographs. I’m still learning. (see more of William)
