Muni King-Keazor





Profile

Muni’s King-Keazor’s foray into photography started over 60 years ago when she acted as darkroom assistant to her father, Lawal King, a keen and gifted amateur photographer. 

Otherwise, she devoted several years to her vocation as a journalist - first as a pioneer member of staff at the Sunday Punch in 1973, before jointly setting up a title with her sister, and raising a family, amongst other pursuits.

Rekindling her deep love for photography, she began six years ago to build up a portfolio of vivid, striking images captured in the course of her travels around Nigeria and other parts of the world.

 Her focus is on highlighting the beauty in unposed everyday sights, bringing the attention of her audience to what they ordinarily may ‘see but not see’ in the hustle and bustle of daily life, thereby ‘remaking the world’ as she sees it.
