“It feels special to be here in Warri to impact the amazing photographers here. This experience has been fantastic; from the practical session to the theory to the conversations we’ve had so far, it’s just beautiful. It is such a nice place to be. In fact, I feel like moving to Warri now. Everyone here is so welcoming. They hosted me so well. Thank you to CameraJoint and his team. I really want to come back here again.” he remarked.

His session also left lasting impressions on the attendees. For many of them, the lessons learned from Oluseyi Magic’s session will undoubtedly shape their journeys for years to come.
