Easter Surprise (2018)
During an annual charity giving ceremony at the 'Jesus Christ Orphanage Home' in Kubwa, children received new and gently used outfits for the Easter celebrations. As I stood amidst the energy of that moment, I invited them to step in front of my camera—not to simply document their smiles, but to explore how their bodies could speak what words might not capture.
Each portrait becomes a quiet exchange, a moment where gestures reveal more than the joy of receiving a gift. The subtle shift in posture, the way hands rest, or the gaze they offer—they express something deeper, something personal. These images may be among the few professional portraits ever taken of them, serving as both a snapshot in time and a reflection of their unique stories—moments of stillness and presence captured in the midst of a fleeting celebration.
