BEVERLY HILLS, July 13, (THEWILL) – You’ve got to appreciate an artiste that can invoke deep thoughts through her work with little or no effort. One of such gifted people is the very talented photographer – TY Bello.
Asides taking pictures that made our hearts melt, her ability to narrate the not so happy aspects of living deserve to be applauded too.
The celebrated photographer was in Borno this past week on a portrait tour of the terrorist-ravaged state. According to her, she got a first hand experience of the unparalleled destruction wrought upon Nigeria and its people by Boko Haram. During her tour, she got to spend time with soldiers and volunteers who risk their lives on a daily basis to the peace of others.
TY also made portraits of children loving in the IDP camps. Asides sharing some of these amazing portraits with tear-jerking captions, she shared her encounter with an injured soldier who had an anti aircraft bullet lodged in his throat but for some miraculous reason survived.
She also wrote another piece on her inability to sleep well following her tour and how she kept seeing faces of the little children at the IDP camps. Interestingly, she even began to see the face of one of the girls she photographed in one of her twin boys.
