In the photographs she tries to demonstrate that she doesn't feel at home anywhere and that she is unable to settle down.

This photo by Ogunbanwo is from a series of black and white images. The model is covered in a fermented porridge called "Ogi," a Nigerian dish. 

This photograph, called "Be the Me," was taken in a restaurant in Yaounde, Cameroon, while Okereke was on the "Invisible Borders Road Trip 2012," from Lagos to Libreville in Gabon.

Ansel Adams and Digital Reflex Camera (Kelson Adams)

Digital Reflex Camera:

A digital single-lens reflex camera (also called a digital SLR or DSLR) is a digital camera combining the optics and the mechanisms of a single-lens reflex camera with a digital imaging sensor, as opposed to photographic film. The reflex design scheme is the primary difference between a DSLR and other digital cameras. In the reflex design, light travels through the lens, then to a mirror that alternates to send the image to either the viewfinder or the image sensor. The alternative would be to have a viewfinder with its own lens, hence the term "single lens" for this design. By using only one lens, the viewfinder presents an image that will not perceptibly differ from what is captured by the camera's sensor.

Ansel Adams:
            (February 20, 1902 – April 22, 1984) was an American photographer and environmentalist. His black-and-white landscape photographs of the American West, especially Yosemite National Park, have been widely reproduced on calendars, posters, and in books.
             With Fred Archer, Adams developed the Zone System as a way to determine proper exposure and adjust the contrast of the final print. The resulting clarity and depth characterized his photographs. Adams primarily used large-format cameras because their high resolution helped ensure sharpness in his images.
             Adams founded the Group f/64 along with fellow photographers Willard Van Dyke and Edward Weston.

This photo plays with the 1/3 rule. If you look at the placement of the bird, it is exactly at the epicentre of the top 1/3 corner quadrant. The wall in the background is also consistent along the bottom 1/3 of the photo, and the centre of the photo consists of the space between the eyes of the old lady and the bird. The pole that is sticking up out of the corner of the wall also falls along the left 1/3 line of the photo, making this photo feel abnormally Aristotelian. The background also has a particular contrast about it since the lower part of the background is darker than the top of it, making it feel as though a gradient tool was used in order to emphasise the darkness in the bottom of the photo as contrasted with the whiteness of the bird's feathers and the upper background.
