Why i Relocated From Nigeria To London, United Kingdom.

Firstly i would to start off by saying it isn’t really an easy decision to make, leaving ones home country (Lagos, Nigeria) where i have created a niche and a brand for myself as a beauty and Fashion Photographer (TIM MCBAJ VISUALS) and move down to a new or alien country (London, UK.), to start a new life and a new brand as a Fashion Photographer in London all together and create a new connection with people.

WHY DID I TAKE THIS DECISION?

The reason i decided to travel and permanently relocate to London UK, is mainly because, i took some time out to think about how my future should turn out, about my Photography business in general and life as a Fashion photographer in Nigeria, i realised there isn’t really much fo me in that country as i cant make a steady living and earning from doing what i love as a creative, because of lots of factors such as; the economy, the limited number of fashion or beauty brands in the country and lastly the level of creativity i was driving towards wasn’t the type, most Fashion brands in Nigeria were really buying into as they are for the Nigerian Fashion Industry.

So i placed all these into consideration and then decided to take a leap of faith and follow my photography passion, by leaving for a country that i would be able to make my dreams and passions a reality.

WHY LONDON UK?

I decided to opt for the United Kingdom, because when i sourced on google on countries with major or Top fashion brands one of them was the Uk, and i couldn’t choose Italy because of the language barrier.

Finally, i made this decision with hope that it will turn out fine in the nearest future and i put some plans in place to ease my integration into the new society, by reaching out to other creatives, modelling agencies, and with time i will each out to Fashion brands ( decided to hold back on this as i need to create contents and fashion images that resonate with this new society and international standard).
