Now who says Art Isn't and Can't be amongst the 'Topnotch or relevant courses or Career Path'?
Imagine a Lawyer settling down to a full time studio artiste. Yes, Mr Kelechi Amadi-Obi after obtaining a law degree and his call to bar in 1993, settled to full-time studio art. And Yes again, he has earned international renown for his PHOTOGRAPHY and paintings
From been the best class artist during his childhood days, drawing Spiderman and incredible Hulk Images, his love for Arts grew and his skills got increasingly better.
Taking his first portrait paid job in the university opened his eyes to the commercial implication of been an artist. Therefore, he explored and exploited it more. Trying to classify his photography style, in an interview with Ezinne Chinkata, the Fashion and Style Consultant for Bellanaija, he said "I don’t know how to classify myself, as I constantly try to get away from stuff I normally do. Classification is a limitation. What I love at this moment may bore me later. I encourage that state of boredom to help inspire variety."
Growing up in an Intense study environment, developing the habit of personal improvement through study, Kelechi’s background as a painter has a deep imprint on the way he views photography. It translates into a more artistic output in terms of looking at all the elements within a photograph. He basks in being proudly Nigerian and portrays all the “third world uniqueness” in our community as raw beauty! His areas of expertise include, advertising photography, creative portraiture, landscape photography, fine-art photography and fashion photography.
To the young and aspiring photographer, he says "Do not like what you do, love it, be obsessed with it, madly passionate about it and enjoy it."
