Remi Adetiba

Photographer

NY/USA

Remi Adetiba is a fashion/commercial photographer with a background in NYC media. From his beginnings as a creative technologist in the New York advertising industry, working on campaigns for brands ranging from Amazon to Astra-Zeneca, SONY to Stoli, Microsoft to MTV, look and function were never more important than feel-- the emotional impact a digital, print, or video experience left with the audience.

This principle guided him through a decade of work as a retoucher/creative director, working with visionary photographers in North America, Asia, and Africa to distill their original visions through the prism of his own imagination to create a final product that truly evoked an emotion in the viewer.

Now focused fully on photography, he continues to fuse all three facets of his career both in his imagery and his role as a resident judge on the reality competition show Africa's Next Top Model. He currently straddles the American and West/Southern African markets, having shot such prominent faces as Miss Universe 2011 Leila Lopes, Victoria's Secret / Sports Illustrated veteran model Oluchi, Emmy-winning journalist Mara Schiavocampo, and Afrobeat icon Femi Anikulapo-Kuti.
