   Joseph Appiah-Dolphyne, AfricaNews editor in Accra, Ghana

   In the world of male dominated fields like that of photography, it is refreshing to note that a woman is gradually creating a niche for herself against all odds. Tosin Pedro, a Nigerian born female photographer is braving against the odds to establish herself as one of the world's best in far away in the United Kingdom.

   

   Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Tosin studied Bsc in Computing and Multimedia at the London Metropolitan University and then went on to study Msc in Information Technology with Security at the University of Greenwich. Her skills in photography, post production and retouching are unmatched.
   
   AfricaNews had a brief but exclusive interview with Tosin Pedro who says “photography has the power of stopping time forever” and hopes to become the best photographer at least in Africa.
   
   AfricaNews: Briefly tell us about yourself?
   
   Tosin: I’m Tosin Pedro. I’m a self-taught photographer born in Nigeria and currently living and working in UK.
   
   AfricaNews: What do you do at your free time?
   
   Tosin: When I’m not at my day-job working as an IT consultant or photographing, I like to spend time post-processing my images. It gives me a chance to go back and view my work and see ways I can improve myself.
   
   AfricaNews: Why photography?
   
   
   
   
   Tosin: Photography has the power of stopping time forever, as well as capturing emotions of both the subject and photographer. While studying for a BSc in Computing and Multimedia I took up photography as a hobby and began pursuing it more seriously after my studies.
   
   AfricaNews: What do you photograph and for what purpose?
   
   Tosin: I photograph different subjects from people to landscapes to nature, I don’t believe in restricting creativity to one subject alone. I photograph for commission and clients.
   
   AfricaNews: What attracts – colour or black and white photographs [Monochromatic]
   
   Tosin: It depends on the subject matter; some images are more emotive in black and white while others are better off in colour. Personally, I am more attracted to colour photographs and that is usually reflected in my photography.
   
   AfricaNews: What’s the relationship between you and other professional photographers?
   
   
   
   
   Tosin: I’m always trying to network with other photographers either through social networking sites such as twitter, flickr and Facebook or meeting in person whenever possible. I like meeting other photographers in person as it gives the chance to learn and share tips, techniques and experiences.
   
   AfricaNews: How can Africa use photos to change its negative perception to the world?
   
   Tosin: I’m not sure that can be done using photos alone. You can take pictures of beautiful people, places and scenery in Africa but it is up to the person looking at the picture to say if his/her view of Africa is objective or not. Africa is a diverse continent, creating beautiful pictures doesn’t tell the whole story of Africa. There are bound to be different sides to such a wide variation of people and culture.
   
   Photography can help give a different view of how things really are without necessarily changing the negative perception, a more rounded view.
   
   
   
   
   AfricaNews: What do you hope to achieve in the next five-ten years?
   
   Tosin: I hope the pursuit of this passion isn’t in vain, I’m hoping to be an established photographer, at least in Africa.
   
   AfricaNews: Few words to upcoming photographers?
   
   Tosin: I’m still an upcoming photographer myself, I’d say Just go for it, experiment as much as possible.
