Latoya Okuneye is a 26 year old award winning art photographer and multidisciplinary artist based in London. Her work is mostly based around intentional visual story telling, with a passion for creating colourful and striking portraiture.

Many of her subjects are black women; the personal approach gives her work a tender edge as she studies black female beauty, femininity and human experience.

Latoya also loves creating work that explores themes around identity and mental health, with her visual concepts leading from a sociological and psychological standpoint.

Latoya has worked with a diverse range of major brands over the past 2 years as a freelancer including the FA, Prince Trust, Channel 4, Tik Tok and Nike.

As an artist she is looking to create more exciting and intentional work with community at the heart of it. She is always open to expand and take on unique briefs and is currently bringing her love for conscious image making into the sports space.
