Portraits that don't look posed
I shoot people for magazines, record labels and the occasional patient family. Mostly available light, mostly on film.
Selected work
Ndidi — album artwork
Cover and inner sleeve for the debut record, shot over two nights in Peckham.
Market Traders
Forty portraits from Ridley Road, exhibited at Autograph in 2024.
View project →Ama & Tunde
A wedding that ran nine hours and produced eleven usable frames. Worth it.
About
Nell Okoye
I picked up my father's Pentax in 2009 and never really put it down. My work sits somewhere between reportage and portraiture — I'd rather wait an hour for someone to forget I'm there than spend five minutes arranging them. Clients include The Guardian, Rough Trade, and a lot of people who found me through other people.
