FREDA FRANCIS's OASIS MED SPA & RED CROSS CONNECTS FOR CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER THE LESS PRIVILEGED !

It's not only about making all the money and living in opulence and pleasure alone, for self made lady of great worth/means and owner/promoter of "Oasis MedSpa on Cameron road, Ikoyi, Lagos, which is one of the best Spas in Lagos, Nigeria, but it's also about remembering the less privileged and blessing them also, especially at such a season like this, which is Christmas period (Yuletide season)!

The top fashionista's brand Oasis MedSpa and world international organisation, The Nigerian Red Cross Society, have collaborated to show love and put a good smile on the faces of many just before Xmas from Friday the 15th of December to Tuesday the 19th of the same month.

For a 50% discount on all treatments at the spa, people can drop off their old clothes, toys and foodstuffs for the Red Cross.

We consider the collaboration above a good deed that's worth emulating by all others and many brands. Reason being that if she and her brand refuses to do anything, nothing would have happened to her and her brand, but to endeavour to be relevant in such a good way, the mother of one has put her money where her mouth is.

Kudos! 

LIFE ON THE ROLL- BY EMPEROR AIGBOVBIOSE CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTIST

Photographer- Emperor Aigbovbiose

LIFE ON A ROLL: My name is Emperor Aigbovbiosa I am a creative and highly motivated freelance  documentary photographer, photo artist, concept developer, social reformer and story teller (my medium of expression is Photography). With my many years of experience I came to understand that photography is a major art form, just like many other art forms too. 

So like other artist, I pride myself as being a type of Michelangelo, Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh, but my medium of expression like stated above is Photography, my canvas is my Camera,  I use my expertise and the understanding of the manipulation of light and the camera to create my art, which tells stories that directly affects or are affecting the lives of the less privileged people and others living around us.

This series,this particular photo documentary titled LIFE ON A ROLL, tells the story of the lifestyle of a poor community of people who used to live on the water inside Lekki Phase One in Lagos Nigeria. The images you are viewing were captured in the year 2013. Photography captures and freezes history for generations coming, yet unborn to understand a portion of their history and heritage! 

"From the photo of an 8 year old boy, who uses his late father's boat to transport people to and fro the community to support the family, to the photo of the woman who sells cloths to people in the community with her boat, to the face of a little boy hoping to get a place to play football with his friends, to the fisher man going home after a very long  hard day of work,  to the photo of a woman on a boat carrying her baby on her back, going to get kerosene to make food for the family etc".

This community so captured by my lens no longer exist just like Maroko, as the government had employed the able bodied men of the community, paid them minimal wages, used them to sand fill the community, after sand filling, evicted all the residents living in the community, and then sold the land to the rich land developers to build a new paradise for another set that would buy.

Photography has gone beyond point and shoot, it involves so much more. Done right, done correctly, it helps to get "YOUR MESSAGE(S) across to your audience. We are "PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS", who understands the art form to the T. We can partner with you to deliver, exceptional, thought provoking, beautiful works of art as images for all types of events/occasions. 

We hope that these images have spoken to you in your own unique way.
