Sunny Job - Head of Photography, IbiFoundry.com.ng

Introduction: More Than a Photographer, A Brother in Creativity 

What if I told you that some of the most breathtaking photos you’ve ever seen weren’t taken with fancy cameras or expensive gear, but with just a smartphone? Crazy, right?

But that’s the reality when you meet Sunny Job — a name that’s not just associated with stunning photography but with years of friendship, growth, and countless childhood memories.

This isn’t just another IBIFoundry Talent Hunt feature. It’s personal.

I’ve known Sunny practically all my life. Growing up in Jalingo, Taraba State, there wasn’t a day I didn’t find myself at his house.

Whether it was to hang out, play, or sneak in some blogging lessons from his brother, Benedict Job, Sunny and his family became an extension of mine. We laughed, we learned, we grew.

And today, I get to share the incredible journey of my childhood friend who has transformed from the playful boy in Jalingo to an outstanding mobile photographer whose works speak volumes without needing expensive gear.

Yes, he’s the genius behind all our IBIFoundry photo shoots!

But beyond that, Sunny’s story is one of passion, purpose, and the raw talent that turns ordinary moments into extraordinary art.

Sunny Job’s Journey: The World in His Pocket 

"Long before I knew the names of lenses or the intricacies of aperture, I was a storyteller with a pocketful of potential." — Sunny Job

While many photographers boast of high-end cameras and expensive lenses, Sunny’s tool of choice has always been simple — a smartphone. But don’t be fooled.

His mobile phone isn’t just a device; it’s a window to the world, capturing the raw, fleeting beauty of life around us.

His journey into photography wasn’t planned. It was born out of curiosity, the desire to freeze moments in time, to tell stories without words.

His early fascination with capturing everyday life transformed into a lifelong passion for mobile photography.

For Sunny, photography is more than just snapping pictures. It’s:

• An intimate dance with light

• A way of seeing beauty in the unexpected

• A tool for storytelling and introspection

Whether it’s the vibrant textures of urban streets, candid human expressions, or the subtle beauty of nature, Sunny’s style gravitates towards:

• Street Photography

• Minimalist Aesthetics

• Candid Portraits

And guess what? He achieves all this without the “latest” camera models. Just a smartphone and an eye for detail.

IBIFoundry Exclusive Interview with Sunny Job 

In this special IBIFoundry Talent Hunt feature, we decided to let Sunny speak for himself. Here’s his journey, in his own words:

Q: Sunny, tell us about your journey into photography.

Sunny Job:"The World in My Pocket: A Mobile Photography Journey

Long before I knew the names of lenses or the intricacies of aperture, I was a storyteller with a pocketful of potential.

My first camera wasn’t a DSLR; it was the humble smartphone—a window to a world of visual possibilities.

I discovered the magic of capturing fleeting moments, the vibrant hues of everyday life, and the power of perspective, all within the palm of my hand.

This early fascination ignited a lifelong passion.

Mobile photography became more than just taking pictures; it became an intimate dance with light, a way of seeing the world with a unique, unfiltered eye.

I experimented tirelessly, pushing the boundaries of mobile photography - learning to harness the power of available light, composition, and the art of finding beauty in the unexpected.

My style gravitates towards street photography, minimalist aesthetics, candid portraits—capturing the raw energy and fleeting beauty of everyday life.

I’m drawn to the vibrant textures of urban landscapes, human connections, and the ephemeral beauty of nature. Through my lens, I aim to convey a sense of wonder and emotion.

My work often explores the passage of time, the human condition, and the power of observation, using the mobile lens as a tool for introspection and storytelling.

I’ve honed my skills through online courses, photography workshops, and participating in mobile photography contests.

What drives me is the desire to inspire others to embrace the power of mobile photography, collaborate with other creatives, and use my images to raise awareness about important issues.
