Ofilaye is a London-based photographer, filmmaker and creative director whose work explores the intersections of identity, culture and space through a distinctly modern lens.
With a practice rooted in both art and narrative, Ofilaye has collaborated with institutions and brands including The National Trust, City of London Corporation, CAT Footwear, and Anisha Parmar Jewellery, creating campaigns, exhibitions and films that merge cultural storytelling with refined visual design. His work has appeared in publications such as Hypebae, Polyester Zine, Mundane Magazine, and TRA.VIS Magazine, affirming his presence within contemporary image-making.
In 2022, he directed My Power Is My Adornment for The National Trust — a film and photography project re-examining colonial history through jewellery and identity. The following year, his documentary Revealing the City’s Past for the City of London Corporation illuminated untold narratives within the city’s archives.
Beyond his commissioned work, Ofilaye lectures in Photography and Moving Image at Cambridge School of Visual & Performing Arts, mentoring emerging artists and fostering new perspectives on visual culture.
Each image he creates reflects a commitment to craft and conceptual depth — a continuous dialogue between light, form and story.
