“My inspiration is from understanding my roots,” Tayo says, and his work is imbued with powerful clarity that comes from being proud of your heritage – he sees and reveres the beauty of small details others might miss. Tayo has brought his vision of Lagos to the world, shooting fashion and rock music fans for the New York Times, festival style for Dazed, and street style for Vogue. For his current project, Tayo is documenting the city’s drag subculture – a sensitive subject in Nigeria, where LGBTQ+ rights are not recognized and there are no legal protections against discrimination.
