Portrait by Nengi Nelson
I am Amanda Iheme (pronounced E-HAY-MAY). An Igbo-Nigerian architecture photographer living and working in Lagos, Nigeria.
I create photographs that emphasize and celebrate the design, history, culture and engineering of built structures, spaces and landscapes. Through my work, I seek to document and preserve the architectural history and story of a place, evoke feelings of nostalgia and share visually appealing images.
I am currently working on the following projects:
artists in their studio
Twenty-six Filling Stations (a nod to Edward Ruscha’s Twentysix Gasoline Stations)
