Documentary, portrait and event photography across The Gambia — told with available light, patience, and an eye for the moment between the moments.
I picked up my first camera at a naming ceremony in Bakau and never really put it down. What I chase isn't the posed smile — it's the half-second before it, when people forget the lens is there.
I shoot weddings, portraits, brand stories and documentary work across The Gambia and beyond. I work quietly, in natural light, and I deliver galleries you'll actually want to print.
To photograph people the way they'd want to be remembered — honestly, warmly, and without the fuss.
A two-day celebration from henna night to the walima, shot fly-on-the-wall.

I work with the light that's there. It's softer, truer, and it ages far better than flash.
You'll barely know I'm there. The best frames come when no one's performing for the camera.
High-resolution, hand-edited images delivered in a private online gallery you keep.
Based in Banjul, but I'll follow the story upcountry or overseas.
“Awa caught moments from our wedding we didn't even know happened. We cried looking through the gallery.”
“She made our little roastery look like a magazine. Sales jumped the week we posted her photos.”
Message me on WhatsApp with your date and what you have in mind. I'll confirm availability, talk through the shoot, and hold the date with a small deposit.
Portraits within 5 days, weddings within two weeks with a highlight gallery in the first 7 days. Every image is hand-edited — I never bulk-export.
Always. I'm based in Banjul but travel for the right story. Upcountry travel is at cost; international is quoted per trip.
A private online gallery of high-resolution, edited images you can download and print, with a print release. Albums and prints are available on request.
