Meet Ruby

Ruby Okoro (he/him) is a self-taught Nigerian visual artist living in Lagos, Nigeria. He began his foray into photography searching for a way to translate his experiences and channel his creative visions. Since then, Ruby has continued to experiment with different techniques and visual presentations.

Ruby chose the Family Life theme for his Adobe Stock Artist Development Fund project because his own work focuses on community, family and self-identity. For this commission, he is particularly interested in exploring the relationships between fathers and sons. Ruby expresses his thoughts and subconscious through conceptual, aesthetic, and vibrant photography. “My photography explores themes of self-expression, identity, the human journey, and personal relationships,” he says. “I firmly believe photography is a tool for transformative storytelling and positive change. I strive to use images to tell visually stimulating stories that broaden perspectives, challenge the status quo and create room for healthier narratives.”
