Àsàké Obìnrin

Asake Obinrin is a portrait photography series exploring Nigerian identity and self expression within the diaspora. Photographed in Woolwich, the work reflects how individuals carry culture, memory, and a sense of home through style, gesture, and presence.

The series takes its name from Asake, an Afrobeat musician whose work resonates across generations, and Obinrin, the Yoruba word for woman. Together, the title gestures toward strength, adaptability, and the layered identities shaped by migration.
