We take a look at Adeolu Osibodu’s top Instagram posts. The Nigerian photographer and photo artist has a distinctly African style that seems to reflect his experiences.
Our list is not a definitive claim of the 5 best images from Osibodu but rather five of the best images that reveal the art that he creates. In no particular order, we look at some of Osibodu’s best posts on Instagram.
1) A Well Fermented Image
The first photo on the list is one that, when first viewed, sees a beautiful portrait of a man. However, according to Osibodu’s caption for the image he hated the image when he first saw it, but then over time he began to appreciate the art he created. We are all better off for him having realised that and posted it.

2) A Love Story in November
With this photo, Osibodu posted a prayer as the caption. Asking that his heart might be that of a boy again. The existentialism of the photo brings across the brilliant mind of the photographer.

3) A Picture of The Photographer Himself
In this image, Osibodu posted himself dressed in his grandfather’s attire. For a photo series named “Losing” Amos. IV. Burial Of An In-Law. July, 1992. It is a beautiful series of images that serve as a celebration of heritage.
4) Saggios by The Door
Another part of Osibodu’s photo series, Saggios are Coming. This image brings across a creepy experience that is tough to put into words, however, what is clear through the image is Osibodu’s talent as a photo artist.

5) Golden Portrait of Yemi
This image is near perfection. Osibodu uses various colouring of the individual as well as the surroundings to create an image that pops out at the viewer.
