Last week, we had Ayokunnumi Akinrujomu as our face of the week. She revealed alot about herself, addressing a few misconceptions about her personality. If you missed that interview, you can read it HERE.
On this week's edition of Face of the week, I welcome photographer Akinboye Akinsola, a student at Obafemi Awolowo UniversIty, Ile-Ife. He answers questions as regards his profession and reveal a very stunning fact.
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

EPIC PHOTOSHOP FAILURES: Beyonce, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian tries to deceive fans with boosted hips
Earlier today Amanda Holden found herself criticised by fans after sharing a sun-soaked bikini snap.
While there's no doubt the Britain's Got Talent judge always looks gorgeous, some Instagram followers accused her getting a little extra help from Photoshop in her latest snap.
One comment read: "Erm... Yeah... I'm sure the horizon is always that wonky..."
While another added: "Unless there's a tsunami right in front of her that photograph has been photoshopped."
The 45-year-old quickly deleted the snap, which featured her facing out to sea in a tiny black bikini, without any explanation.
After the presenter's rather confusing photo, we take a look back at some of the worst celebrity photo fails to date...
Kim Kardashian's a regular offender
The Keeping Up With The Kardashian star is a big fan of selfies but many of her past posts have been accused of being edited by fans.
When she rocked up to her sister Kendall's 20th birthday party recently with hubby Kanye, the pair went straight to the photo booth for some snaps.
But what was uploaded to her social media accounts prompted a flurry of comments from her followers as they pointed out her smoothed jawline and lack of flyaway hairs.
Let's not forget THAT bootylicious bum picture with Blac Chyna - back when they were BFFs - which appeared to have a warped door in the background.
Or the 'missing arm' as she posed with Jonathan Cheban . Come on Kim.
Even sister Khloe is in on the act
A photo posted by Khloé (@khloekardashian) on
In February the reality star flashed her impressively sculpted abs as she posed for a mirror snap following a hardcore workout.
But fans weren't fooled by her 'motivational' post, where she claimed: "I just trying to be better than I used to be. I compete with myself."
The 31-year-old struggled to maintain her cool as fans pointed out the suspicious door curve - as she reposted the snap with a new caption.
Her message read: "If only hatin burned calories how dope yall would be. Too bad it doesn't. Here's the OG shot. The petty movement ain't cute. Oh and I almost forgot.... Namaste".
Queen Bey has also been accused of a little editing
She's one of the most gorgeous women in the world but even Beyonce has been accused of altering her Instagram snaps.
Fans were outraged when the 'perfect' singer seemingly edited her hips as she modelled a skimpy leotard.
One Twitter user wrote: "Beyonce is caught using Photoshop AGAIN! quit lying. Your thighs touch. You got cellute. You're normal. #Duh."
It isn't the first time the superstar has been accused of editing in a 'thigh-gap' to her snaps.
One eagle-eyed fan noticed some weird distortion of the steps between her thighs during a luxury cruise photoshoot.
Meanwhile, an earlier shot of her playing golf appeared to have dramatically slimmed-down thighs.
One fan wrote: "The Photoshop Awards: Beyonce's Thigh Gap On Instagram."
Fans thought Britney Spears removed a few ribs
When Britney posed poolside she undoubtedly looked SMOKING HOT - but some people weren't convinced by her tiny waist.
"Did Britney Spears remove some ribs for this bikini photo? No way she's this skinny", said one follower.
One replied to the picture of her next to the pool with: "That skinny part of your back is so photoshoped, whoever did it forgot to put the path in"
Lindsay Lohan is also a fan of a slimmer waist
The Freaky Friday actress shared a sultry snap of herself looking particularly trim and then quickly deleted it.
But not before her followers noticed the weirdly wavy stairs behind her. You're not fooling anyone, Lindsay.
