Peace Duyile is a passionate young photographer currently pursuing her bachelor’s degree in Photography at the University of Hertfordshire, UK. Born and raised in Lagos, Peace has had an enduring fascination with the art of visual storytelling from a young age. This passion led her to pick up her first camera at the age of 15 and she hasn’t looked back since.

Experience:

Before embarking on her academic journey, Peace worked for a year as a professional photographer, where she honed her skills and developed a distinctive aesthetic. She has a knack for capturing candid moments that reveal the raw, unfiltered essence of her subjects. Her body of work, though diverse, consistently exhibits a profound understanding of light and shadow, colour and composition, showcasing her technical prowess.

Current Pursuits:

As a student at the University of Hertfordshire, Peace is broadening her photographic horizons and pushing her creative boundaries. Her studies are enriching her understanding of the theoretical and historical aspects of photography, enhancing the depth and intentionality of her work. She’s currently working on a series focused on urban life, exploring the intersection between humanity of different geographies.

Vision:

Peace believes that photography is a powerful tool for communication and connection. She sees each photo as a dialogue – a conversation between the subject, the photographer, and the viewer. Her ultimate goal is to create images that not only capture moments in time but also provoke thought and emotion, inviting viewers to engage with the world through her unique lens.

Personal Motto:

“Photography, for me, is a dance of observation and imagination. It’s about discovering beauty in unexpected places and telling stories that might otherwise remain untold.”
