WELCOME TO YARN

My name is Desmond Okon, a journalist with BusinessDay Media, and a documentary photographer. I’m a member of Photowaka Africa, a community of photographers based in Nigeria. I am also a member of the first cohort of Photography for Social Good—an initiative of Social Good Lagos, and also the lead photographer at Leadout Education Foundation (volunteering).

​

I have committed myself to storytelling through journalism and photography. However, the changing trends in the art of storytelling makes me hungry for more exposure, and knowledge to better tell stories and contribute to issues in my own way; because I believe stories change societies and create a balanced world.

​

My focus on events and documentary photography have brought me to people, taken me to places, helped me tells stories in a way I have always wanted to—visually. I built this platform to show you.
