Photography In Nigeria
Photography in Nigeria began as a profession in the late nineteenth century, attracting practitioners from across West Africa. The professional prestige accorded to photography in Nigeria has led to the country being characterized as a 'photographic giant' in the region. The era of the studios Daniel West (1815-1857), a Methodist pastor from Britain touring missionary congregations in West Africa, apparently took daguerrotypes in Abeokuta and Lagos in 1856, though only engravings survive. From 1880 onwards there were professional photographic studios in Lagos, often run by Sierra Leoneans, Liberians, or Brazilians in Nigeria. From the 1890s until 1910 Neils Walwin Holm, born in the Gold Coast, was "the pre-eminent photographer of Lagos". Other Nigerian photographic pioneers included H. S. Freeman (fl. 1925), Emmanuel Rockson, Alfred Mamattah, and George S. A. da Costa (1853-1929?). Outside Lagos, Jonathan Adagogo Green (1873-1905) studied photography in Sierra Leone befor ...
