Portraits that don't look posed
I shoot people for magazines, record labels and the occasional patient family. Mostly available light, mostly on film.
Selected work
Ndidi: album artwork
Cover and inner sleeve for the debut record, shot over two nights in Peckham.
Market Traders
Forty portraits from Ridley Road, exhibited at Autograph in 2024.

A wedding that ran nine hours and produced eleven usable frames. Worth it.
About
Nell Okoye
I picked up my father's Pentax in 2009 and never really put it down. My work sits somewhere between reportage and portraiture. I'd rather wait an hour for someone to forget I'm there than spend five minutes arranging them. Clients include The Guardian, Rough Trade, and a lot of people who found me through other people.
