Lagos by Daniel Obasi - Fashion Eye

The seemingly contradictory title "The Beautiful Resistance" painted in capital letters at the beginning of this issue of Fashion Eye illustrates the intention of its author, photographer Daniel Obasi. Usually working for cutting-edge fashion magazines, he points his lens at Lagos, Nigeria's largest city, and creates a narrative that addresses the social and political issues he holds dear: sexuality, gender fluidity, non-conformity, political corruption and religious fervour. All presented under a gloss that can crack at the slightest pressure.
