The first retrospective collection showcasing the photographic work of the renowned Nigerian filmmaker, photographer, and music-video director, Andrew Dosunmu, is presented in the Monograph. This comprehensive volume offers a retrospective view of Dosunmu’s illustrious career spanning two decades, featuring previously unreleased and richly vibrant portraits. It encompasses a diverse range of content, including stills extracted from music videos and his 2022 Netflix production, “Beauty.” Dosunmu’s photography has graced the pages of iconic music and fashion publications such as The Face, Vibe, Fader, Vogue Hommes, Paper, and Interview. Moreover, he has collaborated with global brands such as Nike and Adidas on commissioned projects.
Throughout his artistic journey, Dosunmu has cultivated an extensive personal portfolio that, until now, remained concealed from the public eye, although eagerly sought after by private collectors and esteemed museums. The captivating images found in Monograph spotlight individuals exuding unique style in locations such as Dakar, Mumbai, and Cartaghena. Dosunmu’s innate talent for harnessing color unites these portraits, crafting a compelling aesthetic that celebrates global culture with an extraordinary sensuality. The book also features an enlightening conversation between Dosunmu and Arthur Jafa.
