Photography began historically, as an art of the Person: of identity, of civil status, of what we might call, in all senses of the term, the body’s formality. It was not on the exalted heights of autonomous Art that photographic portraiture made its lasting place, but in a profane industry which furnished the cozier spaces of the bourgeois home (Adeeko 2012).With the changing trends and people’s love for preserving memories in the best possible way, photography has a big market, not just in Nigeria, but anywhere in the world. With the introduction of digital photography and videography, the photography and videography business in Nigeria has become one of the most lucrative big businesses today because digitalized pictures and videos are now the order of the day and the business is relatively easy to start. The photography business is one that is highly thriving globally. In Nigeria alone, there are thousands of photographers in this field.
