Led by Art

A mate of mine - the lovely Gabriella Havens (Insta @GabiHavens) - did a pretty cool Instagram post a short while ago which inspired me to create an artistic post of my own. The results are below:

I put this together using a combination of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, and it literally defines me being led by art. I’m not the most natural of illustrators, but I am a sucker for a good bit of artwork! This will explain why I have visited the Saatchi Gallery so many times!

African Artwork Evening

Late September, I was commissioned by the Britain-Nigeria Educational Trust to photograph at their artists’ auction and drinks evening; held at Desso in Farringdon. The evening was spectacular, with many beautiful pieces of art selling at the auction.

Below are some of the shots I caught in a slideshow!

Notting Hill Mendrilla

Recently I had the honour of photographing friend and fashion stylist Reena Lakhani on the streets of Notting Hill - streets that are amongst some of my favourites ever! She’s photographed wearing a stunning bespoke hand-painted Mandali Mendrilla 2-piece!

Mandali Mendrilla has been established since 1995, creating luxury fashion pieces which are very environmentally conscious - being PETA approved and vegetarian!

R.I.D Turns 4!

I was in the shower today and it suddenly caught be full in the face that Roy Ikoroha Design is 4 today! 4!!!!!!!

Where has the time gone guys?????!!!!!

It feels like yesterday I was deliberating over processing the registering of R.I.D and the direction I was going to take the business in! Fast-forward to today and I can happily say I have covered numerous graphical design and photographic projects - all challenging me in their own unique way.

Four years in the game - plus several years prior to this learning my craft - and I can confidently say I have learnt so much, whilst continuing to challenge myself as a creative on a daily basis!
