Read the full interview below;
Tell us a little bit about you:
I am Akinboye Akinsola Sylvester, also known as HARKINLLOLLUWAH. Born into the family of Mr & Mrs Akinboye  a few years ago. The 3rd child of my family.
What sort of work do you specialize in?As a student, I do video and photography.
You study photography and videography?
I mean plus schooling, I do photography and videography.
Oh that's cool. So, What is your primary style in Photography?
With Primary Style,  what do you mean?
Like what's your form of photography? Do you love street/outdoor photography, nature photography, e.t.c.?
I do more of event photography, nature photography then less of outdoor photoshoot. Though I'm still expecting certain equipment used mostly for outdoor photoshoot. I will step that up sooner.
Oh ok! How long have you been into this photography thing?
It's been quite a while.
A while? Like 10 years?
I have been taking pictures since I was very  young but then I just knew a little. I think from last year I started learning more.
What or who got you started in photography?
My mother. She used to have a photo studio.

What type of cameras do you shoot with?
I can operate all kinds of cameras but right now I have a canon 350D and Nikon D3200.
Wow. That's pretty good.
Thank you sir.
Other than your camera, What is your favourite photography accessory?
Tripod, monopod, reflector,  speed light, light painting, and any kinda source of light that can make my pictures look cool even that light!(sunlight).


Lol. That's a lot. Anyways,  What were the difficulties you encountered first starting photography?
Personally, I don't creep i.e Taking pictures of people without their consent. So most people tend to turn you down.  Then, I don't go about with my camera, so at times I see perfect shots but I miss them because I left my camera behind.
Alright. You talked about outdoor events. I'm sure that includes weddings, How many weddings have you shot?
I really can't count. A lot.
Wow. That should make a rich photographer.  
Lol. Rich indeed

What has been your most memorable wedding photoshoot and why?
All photoshoot memories have been so sweet. I feel good every time I face an "object" with a camera.
Hmmm...Impressive! Is there anybody or anything you would love to photograph that you haven't had the chance to?
Maybe an au naturel model
Sorry... I'm not inclined to that. What does that mean?
Lol. An unclad model.
Oh! What a dream!
Lol. Dream indeed
When you are out shooting, how much of it is instinctual versus planned?
If i get your question right, most times when I am bored, I pick my camera and try new things. So mostly I don't plan. I just shoot things around me and I believe that's the best way to learn better.
Humm...right! you did get it right. How does black and white vs color play into your work? Do you find them to be totally separate beasts or complementary?
I don't mix them. I know when to shoot a colored pix,  a black and white, a Sepia or a Cyanotype .
So who's the photographer that inspires you?
Alot.  I follow a lot of photographers on Instagram and I see their works,  watch some on YouTube and I get inspired to try new things.
Talking about Instagram and Youtube, How has social media played a role in your photography?
It has inspired me big. Learnt most new concepts  there.
As regards photography, where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?
God's willing. As a Director. (music videos, movies etc)
Hummm... Next Clarence Peters. Your favourite movie and music video of all time?  
Actually, I watch Bollywood movies not because of their boring stories but their camera work is superb, their lighting is great.
"Jamb question" by Simi featuring Falz which was directed MEX films. The camera work was dope. Then "The Sound" by Davido featuring Uruhu, directed by SESAN
If someone said ‘How can I be the next HARKINLLOLLUWAH?’ What would you say?
Haa,  baba be YOURSELF  oooo. Thats exactly what I will spit.
Lol...Ok It's been nice having you around...
A pleasure 🏽‎Follow Akinsola Akinboye on Instagram @harkinllolluwah_flickx

Face of the week: "My love life is currently non-existent." - Ayokunnumi Akinrujomu

Face of the week: "My love life is currently non-existent." - Ayokunnumi Akinrujomu

Interview   6:27:00 PM

Yes, we officially started OXV234's face of the week and bring it to you for the first time, we present Ayokunnumi, a final year student of Obafemi Awolowo University. 

She reveals a couple of things about herself, addressing rumors that she is proud. 

Read below;

Can I meet you?

I am Akinrujomu Ayokunnumi. The first of 3 children. I live in Osogbo, Osun state. I had my secondary school education at FGGC Ipetumodu and I'm currently in my final year at the Department of English, OAU, Ile-Ife.

How does it feel being a first child?

It's a bit difficult to describe but I would say apart from the pressure to be close to perfect, being the first child for me comes with more pros than cons :)

The pressure of being Close to perfect, how do you cope with that?

It’s tricky cause no one is perfect but all I just do is make sure I try my very best to be the best me I can be and try to be a good example to my siblings and make myself readily available and approachable for them when they need my help and even when they think they don't.

Alright….So tell me your kind of person. Your personality,  hobbies.

I am a very shy, guarded and laid back person who might come across as a snob which I am not between. Little things get me excited; a good book, good songs with lyrics I can relate to. I love to cook and bake. I do a lil bit of writing to, I dabble in drawing a lil and I'm the happiest person on earth when I’m with people I care for.

So who do you listen to more (musicwise)?

I don't have a particular artiste I listen to. It varies. Like I've been listening to more of Jhene Aiko recently and Selena too.

Hmmm...Pretty cool

Thank u :)

As a student of certainly the best school in the country now and possibly the toughest, how have you been coping?

Hmmmm...OAU is another world entirely filled with different experiences and it’s an environment that allows for growth. The trick I think is to keep going at it and never get discouraged no matter how hard it seems; keep going, that's what I do.

What motivates you?

My goals and the future I see for myself is what drives and motivates me.

Talking about the future, where do you see yourself in five years?

God willing, working in a good PR or Communications Company and getting ready to put out my own range of natural hair products.

Is that to say your hair is the most important part of your body?

 Lol…I consider every part of my body important cause it’s a temple after all but yes my hair is at the top of the list. It’s like my baby.

Hummm. That sounded like a religious person.

I’m not a religious person. I don’t think that’s the right word. My faith is important to me and I maintain a relationship with my maker who is also an important part of my life. Too many people get lost in the religion aspect.

What was one of your most defining moments in life?

When you say defining what exactly do you mean?

An experience that change your life.

Ok. When I was a lil bit younger my family lost everything to a fire incident that claimed four lives. We were lucky to leave unhurt but we had to start from scratch and that taught me never to be comfortable in whatever position I find myself and also never to look down on people.

Obviously armed with the killer curves and asset, What is your love life like?

Lol... About killer curves and asset but my 'love life' is currently non-existent.

My 'love life' is currently non-existent

Non-existent? Can you explain that?

It simply means it doesn't exist.

If you had a chance for a “do-over” in life, what would you do differently?

Probably instill more confidence in myself.

Oh. I think you still have the chance to do so.

Yeah I’m working on it. It’s a continuous process. There's always room for improvement.

How do you deal with the opposite sex hanging unto your neck?

errr...I don’t  think I have the opposite sex hanging unto my neck if there is then I’m oblivious to it.

How sincere that sounded.

Lol… It is tho.

It’s been nice having this chat with you. 

Yeah same here.
