Bring an open mind and a fresh spark of curiosity—our annual photo retreat is hitting its 7th edition, and we’re taking the trip to the cool, rocky hills of Jos, Plateau State from November 11–14, 2026!

Street photography is the entry point, the main goal however, is helping you change how you see the world. It’s all about resetting your mind, dropping bad creative habits, and building a storytelling style that’s totally your own. We’re here to grow every part of you as a creator—heart, body and mind.

If you’re anywhere near the Northern part of the country, this is for you!

Photo. Graph. Y.

Light trapped inside a passing sigh,
A slice of time, a stolen glimpse,
In rich, nostalgic Classic Chrome prints.
The shutter clicks, the world stands still,

Happy World Photography Day!

Ever so thankful for the gift of photography.
