Some people are born to Instagram. Model, designer, photographer, and creative director, Asiyami Gold, is one of the lucky few. The Nigerian-born creator has a knack for design, photography, and travel, documenting her adventures on her buzzworthy Instagram page.
Her creative agency, ASIYAMI GOLD, launched in 2013, collaborating with giants like GAP, J. Crew, PANTENE, VOGUE, and more.
But the multi-faceted creator didn’t have it easy from the get-go. “I grew up in a country where art was respected but not revered which then led me to treat the arts as it had been painted: ‘Art is a hobby; it doesn’t put food on the table,’” she recalled in an interview with Create & Cultivate.
“I picked up a camera when I turned 15 and never looked back,” she said. “I enjoyed documenting life and the beauty that I saw in things that others didn’t deem as beautiful. As time progressed, I fine-tuned my work, studied what I liked about photography, and executed my vision.”
“Through my work, I’m able to offer a different perspective on how people may perceive their everyday ‘norm’ and that to me is what really makes it all magical,” she said.
Take a look at some of her photos in the gallery below, and prepare to fall in love with her life.
