The best way to describe the relationship between photographers and the photography industry, it’s more like an addicted love combo divinely made. When the love bug of photography bites you, you can never separate from it forever. Photography brings out the best in those that truly love the trade; it makes them see the beautiful side to everything, and they in return try to impact this positive vibe in their environment. This is how best I could describe Benjamin Osazuwa’s photography quest in the city of Benin.

Born on January 29th 1994, Benjamin’s interest in photography was born out of his desire to solve pictorial problems. He’s the founder of Bereal Photography.com Company that aims at providing photography solutions. He studied Fine and Applied Arts at the University of Benin, Benin City, where he majored in Graphics. Bereal as a brand started 2013 although it wasn’t photography related. It was more about a guy who wanted to make a name for himself. In 2013, the journey started with him as a music producer but he dropped it for photography.

In 2017, he won the Photographer of the Year Award, University of Benin, and, also in the same year, won the UNIBEN CAMPUS AWARD for Best Student Entrepreneur of the Year.  He has worked with Kelechi Amadi-Obi, the renowned Nigerian photographer, and other internationally recognized artistes, which includes Flavour N’abania. He is the Portfolio Developer of the 2017 winner of the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN), Miss Ugochi Ihezue. His company, Bereal Photography.com , affiliates with the Federal Art Gallery, Abuja, and Edo Global in the development of content; he partnered with Modzero Concept to launch the social media publicity campaign for the coronation of His Royal Majesty, (Engr) Nduka.
