Sade Boyewa El is a Documentary, Street and Portraiture Photographer, Community Activist, and Organizer. A native of Sweden and Nigeria, her colourful and vibrant photographs pay homage to her trans-national and multi-cultural upbringing. Sade’s work challenges the viewer’s eyes to see past the obvious, to uncover the beauty that exists in the most unusual and unexpected places. Sade earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Social Psychology of Women, Gender and the Family from the CUNY Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies. She likes to tell stories that capture the beauty and essence of her community. “I want to capture and document people’s faces and moments in time with my camera as things are rapidly changing. Time is all we have. We just don’t know how much of it. Because in a blink of an eye it will all be gone and no one will remember what it used to be. That which will never be again.”
