Portraits

My photography is all about stories. The stories that cover people, places, and the specifics of the day.

About 

Hello, My name is Chike/Joseph. Thank you for checking out my work.  People call me a photographer but I believe I just capture the world through my perspective. 

​

I started taking photos back in 2011 with a Sony Cybershot. From 2014 to 2018, while living in Cleveland, Tennessee, my work was featured in the Lee University Centennial Book, with award-winning artist Jose Valentino, and in the Cleveland Daily Banner. Those moments helped shape my journey and gave me the motivation to keep going.

​

In 2019, I moved to Pittsburgh for grad school and found an even deeper connection to storytelling through images. Over time, my focus shifted toward showcasing cultural expression especially through portraits, fashion, and conceptual shoots. In 2024, I curated The Naija Experience: A Photography Journey, a sold-out exhibition celebrating the beauty and diversity of Nigerian culture. It was featured in TribLive and praised for its emotion, creativity, and powerful visual storytelling.

​

Since then, I’ve continued creating from the heart. My work reflects the communities and emotions that shape me. It’s not a job, it’s something I enjoy. Just a fun way to connect, reflect, and express life through my lens.

​

​​I use my photography to tell stories of the world. I bring the vision you have into a reality. Every picture I take carries an emotional attachment to it. I listen, care and give you a good, memorable and fun time. I want people to look at my picture and have a much deeper meaning and sense to it. My goal is to impact others through my writing and photography. I do this for fun and as hobby. I enjoy using my talent.

It was a really nice experience for me. A wonderful memory of my day you helped me create. You modified the big picture and opinions I had in my head for the remembrance of that day. I appreciate the effort you put into taking the picture not just to put your name out there but to make me happy and comfortable with the result. Thanks for having me,

When I first worked with him. I said to myself: "Wow!" He knows what he wants and he can relate to your vision and make your imagination come alive in every picture. His pictures are beautiful and original, and, the most important thing, 100% reliable.
