Toyin Shokefun-Bello, better known as TY
Bello came into the spotlight singing with the now defunct group KUSH.
In addition to
being a brilliant singer, TY Bello is also a photographer, and her skill in
picture taking has won her several laurels including a recent appointment as
the official photographer to the President of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria.
However, the
singer who has been off the music scene for quite a while is back in the news
again; not because of a new
release but on the subject of her second love which is photography.
Rapper Phyno
recently became the focus of TY Bello’s camera
lens as she followed the Igbo Rapper through the streets of his hometown
in a series of gritty, iconic shots .
In some of the
pictures which were released this week, we see as TY Bello captures Phyno on
the streets, in an abandoned spare part
shop and beneath massive powerlines portraying Phyno in moments of
personal reflection in public places which we believe are meant to be symbolic
of Phyno’s personal journey and eventual rise to popularity under heavy public
adulation and scrutiny.
TY Bello’s past
photographic subjects include some of the most notables names in Nigerian
social and artistic circles, the first
lady Patience Jonathan and Professor Wole Soyinka, to mention just a
few.
