Ikemsinachukwu Jordan James’ love for camera started at the
age of four, when his father gave him a toy camera as a birthday present. His
fascination with the gift was so much that he couldn’t be separated from it.
So, when he was presented a real camera on his eighth
birthday, the now Junior Secondary School (JSS III) student of Mercyfield
College, Ejigbo, Lagos, began thinking of how to put it to good use, especially
when he learned that pictures could be used to document events and tell or
embellish stories. He developed interest in photography with special interest in
documenting history.
“My father taught me how to operate a camera, when I was
eight years old,” he recalled. “But I later went to a professional photographer
to hone my skill. Initially, I just wanted to take pictures for my dad’s photo
museum, but I later discovered that I could make some money, while still
helping daddy.”
