}}Bolaji Alonge (born 1977) is an artist, international photographer, actor and journalist from Lagos, Nigeria. He is also a globetrotter who has travelled the world during the last decade documenting exotic culture and history.[1]

Early life

Bolaji Alonge was born in 1977. His father passed on his passion for photography to Bolaji, who spent time with him taking and developing images as a child. After high school, he studied Mass Communication at the University of Lagos in the rowdy nineties, while exploring his acting skills at the Theatre 15 UNILAG. Ever since he has acted in a range of theatre, television and movie projects.[2]

Work

Alonge's experience and his travels made him a great storyteller who loves to share his photography and the deeper meaning of the stunning images he presents. {{centred pull quote|I encourage young Africans to take up the camera and document history – those memories that make up the fabric of existence. In order to move forward we have to know where we come from. I do it by searching for unique shots, that become integrated in the mood boards of our lives.[3]}}

In May 2017, he organized a photo exhibition “Eyes of a Lagos Boy” at the Freedom Park in Lagos. The show presented iconic images of everyday life and societal concerns from Nigeria, Egypt, the Netherlands, Oman, Germany, India, Turkey and Sweden. It was launched as a series of photo exhibitions that will be taken around Nigeria, Africa and the world.[4]

Bolaji Alonge also works on social and documentary projects, such as a campaign on the human right to water, the Epe Waterside Health Care Project that documents small communities living along the Lagos Lagoon and their health challenges, a series of art and photography education workshops at Kiri-Kiri maximum security prison and others. He is a passionate deep sea-diver and activist for ecological justice.[5]

He is an atheist and considers that religion is a barrier to critical thinking.
