Obasanjo celebrated his 80th birthday recently, looked dashing in lovely Agbada and traditional attires in photos taken by TY Bello. TY Bello also captioned: ‘‘OLUSEGUN OBASANJO : GOLDEN .
About 13 years ago I asked an assistant to help me source a gold velvet fabric for backdrop for my portraits .It was meant to be large and in the tone of gold …rich.. like the highlight on a very dark persons skin…He didn’t nearly find what I wanted. He however came back with a small sized unimpressed ash colored fabric that looked really old.. I was disappointed . It didn’t occur to me that he just handed me gold .. real gold.. that boring piece of fabric became my favorite backdrop . I went on to photograph 3 Nigerian presidents against it. It was also the best shade for post production . It was light enough to compliment most skin tones ., yet dark enough to be augmented in post production. In this portrait my ash colored backdrop was brushed to a rich gold to compliment Baba’s aso oke. Sometimes we don’t find exactly what we are looking for. .. but we must learn to appreciate what we have been handed … it may just be golden #tybellophotography #photostories#obasanjo at 80 for @thisdaystyle”
