Meet Abubakar Sadiq, a 28 year old graduate from Federal University Of Technology Minna. He is the brain behind ‘The dream concept’ photography. Abubakar is Nupe by tribe from Kwara State but he was born and brought up in the Federal capital territory, Abuja.
What attracted you to photography?
I randomly edit pictures from peoples display pictures and send to them. They get to love them and appreciate the artwork. Then from there I thought of capturing my own pictures and edit them. I improved by getting tutorials from the internet and sometimes I freestyle on my own.
Did you go to school to study photography?
Nope I didn't. I just picked it up on my own.
How long have you been a photographer?
Well I started when I graduated from uni in 2012 but since I didn't study photography, it took me a while to know the in and out of photography at least to a point. If u want something you don’t have to wait for someone to put you through just go ahead n take d risk.
What inspired the name ‘The dream concept?’
*Laughs* Ummm,‘The dream concept’ just came in like a dream.
What type of camera do you shoot with?
Canon.
You shoot beautiful outdoor Photographs, what is most challenging about outdoor photography?
Location. You hardly get nice free open space to snap you have to pay for most of them.
How do you get people to model for you?
My friends model for me. They volunteer and sometimes people get in touch with me asking if they can model for me but it’s just a voluntary stuff.
A photographer who inspires you
Almost all photographers inspire me because when you get to understand the nature of photography you get to appreciate them all. It’s not easy.
What would you have done apart from photography?
I would have ventured in to Business.
What is your advice for aspiring photographers?
Having passion and love for what you do is enough to keep you going, coupled with prayers and determination. Also, always be respectful to people anywhere you find yourself working.
Share with us 20 photographs of your work.
