Photo Talk: Olufemi Olaiya

An evening of creative conversation, bringing together visual artist Olufemi Olaiya for a Photo Talk, alongside a short talk from local photographer Thaïs Verhasselt.

Olufemi Olaiya is a self-taught visual artist specialising in portrait, fashion and architectural photography. His practice explores storytelling, historical context and the connections between people and generations.

Through his photography, Olufemi aims to capture the essence of his subjects and create space for conversations around identity, history, humanity and shared experience. In this Photo Talk, he will share more about his practice, influences and approach to photography.

The evening will also introduce Turning the Tide, a new series of short talks offering an open platform for photographic conversation. Photographer and visual artist Thaïs Verhasselt will be sharing the ideas, stories and people behind her project, A Fare to Remember.

Whether you're a photographer, artist, student, enthusiast or simply interested in photography, join us for an evening of sharing ideas, perspectives and conversation around photographic practice.
