My Canon Story

 

A Lagos-based multidisciplinary artist who has been shaping the world of product and brand photography since 2018. As a creative with a keen eye for detail, she doesn’t just capture products—she tells their stories. Her passion for visual storytelling led her to become a Canon trainer in 2021, where she now teaches the art of photography and the importance of branding, sharing the knowledge she’s accumulated through years of hands-on experience. Valerie’s creative spirit flows beyond photography. She founded Lazy&Co in 2019 and went on to become a creative director of ‘The Curlt’ , an eccentric lifestyle studio , she’s constantly pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a multidisciplinary artist. From UI/UX design to painting and branding, Valerie is driven by a simple philosophy: creativity knows no form. Before all of these , she started her career as a celebrity stylist and an illustrator for fashion houses in Nigeria and had gone on to work with so many other brands as a creative consultant /graphic designer. Valerie is not just building brands and capturing moments she’s crafting experiences that challenge convention and inspire non-conformity.
