The Hausa Boy

The Hausa Boy was the first photograph I ever took with my own camera. It was a quiet beginning etched in monochrome. He sits still, gaze steady and unflinching, as though aware that this moment would outlive both of us. There’s something timeless in his stare. A kind of knowing innocence and every shade of grey carries the tenderness of a first encounter between a boy and the birth of a photographer’s eye.
