In this episode we sit in and hear the perspectives of photographer Fela Raymond & multidisciplinary artist Joonbug. Fela is both a photographer and creative director from Nigeria, currently based in Texas. With influences from moments of traveling - he takes film with him everywhere, focusing on traditional photographic style, symbolic of the meticulous and steady development of the humanity he captures. Joonbug works full-time as a visual creative, based in Oakland, California—by way of Dallas Texas, and Jamaica, West Indies. He has carefully cultivated his skills for illustration and design; a quirky wit and hand-styled approach gives his work vibrant soul and character.
This episode is the first in our Series Shift conversations.
The Series Shift is a weekly experience aiming to explore the realities of parallel creatives through emotive, intellectual dialogue, visual mediums, and analog soundscapes. This collection of conversations with the enigmas of our time, some of which have brought the novelty of high touch in their works across genres of expression, serves as the amateur’s scrapbook, the maturation thesis of our generation, and the Shift in perspective from what was once insular representation of the arts to a new diasporic guard.
