After taking thousands of breathtaking and iconic shots, renowned photographer, Fortunate Umurname Peter known simply as Fortune has settled for his favorites.

Speaking in a chit-chat with MyNigeria.com, Fortune, the official photographer of musician, Davido said the pictures of Wizkid and Davido on stage at a concert at Eko Hotel & Suites in Lagos, in 2018 and another of Davido performing to a sold-out crowd at the O2 Arena remains arguably his best pictures to date.

“…one of my favorites was the Davido and Wizkid concert, the performance they did from a concert I think four years ago at Eko Hotel. That was like one of my favorite shots.”

“It was at a Davido concert when Davido brought out Wizkid, it was one of the photos that went viral, it went to a lot of blogs and websites. The photo featured in a lot of articles.”

He said his second-best was a birds-eye-view shot of Davido performing to a sold 02 Arena in 2019. According to him, the image is one of his best because it gave him the opportunity to document a very important moment in history.

“My second favorite photo was a photograph of the show I took in London. It was a picture from Davido’s concert at the O2 Arena when he sold out the 20,000 O2 Arena hall.”

“To me, that image was a connection between me and my work, and for a place I have never been to before, I was able to experience what it takes to explore and document an iconic moment of an icon.”

Meanwhile, Fortune has said the ongoing conflict between his boss Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy is the reason he can’t work with the superstars.

The renowned photographer noted that he could only work with people whom he could relate to and won’t conflict with his current job.
