Thursday, February 27, 2014Omoba
Leading photographer, Yetunde Babaeko holds a first of its kind breast cancer awareness photo exhibition geared to inspire the Nigerian public to join in the fight against cancer.
The photo exhibition titled "Battle Scar" will hold on the 8th of March at the Goethe Institute, Onikan by 2pm.
This exhibition will showcase photos taken by a group of independent professional female photographers led by popular photographer and owner of Camara-Studios, Yetunde Babaeko and driven by a collective passionate vision "to make a lasting impact through the lens of the camera".
“Breast cancer patients need to know that this
does not limit ambition. Knowing this inspires the zeal to impact the lives of
females to reach out and accomplish their dreams regardless of the health
issues they have. Also being ‘breast aware' plays a major role in early
detection so I was especially pleased to be a part of this initiative which
will make ladies more aware and become proactive with breast examination and
talking to their doctors." says Yetunde Babaeko.
“I am not going to run 5km or climb
Kilimanjaro, but I need to do something. For me, choosing to take photos for
the cancer support groups, albeit it is very short-lived is a personal
challenge. It is so important to raise awareness of breast cancer and the work
of our national charities who help women and their families deal with the
physical and emotional scars that this disease creates.” notes one of the
photographers.
This maiden edition
will feature real life photos of breast cancer patients, survivors, their
families and the strategies they employ in coping with breast cancer.
