My parents put me through 4 years of college (GO DAWGS!) and they paid for a degree in psychology. Final year of college, I was stuck with no minor and lots of credits to fulfill. I was relating my dilemma to my mom when she reminded me of the pictures I always took for my church media team. So with that in mind, I went to my adviser looking for a photography class for a psychology major. Turns ou
t that ARGD 3090 was available, and at the very last minute! So I signed up for the class, and my life was never the same again! My name is Oluwamayowa Jesulayomi Tekobo, I am a 20 something year old who has a an uncanny passion for photography. I would like to consider myself as David in the whole David Vs. Saul game (if you are interested, ask me about it later)
Why the name Jesulayomi (Its so hard to pronounce)? I remember when I first started this business my senior year of college, I first started with the name MJT Photography (MayowaJesulayomiTekobo Photography). I quickly realized that it was a mouthful and it didn't feel personal, hence I changed it. Jesulayomi is in the Yoruba (YO-RU-BA) language simply translates as Jesus Is My Joy! I went through a trying time in my life where I would wake up sad because people that I held dear and close to me turned their backs on me. Walking from class to class seemed like a chore. My whole life was consumed by the present problems I was facing. One day I decided that nobody would be able to steal my joy! I decided to place Jesus as the center of my life, and that is how I got the name Jesulayomi, and I tell you, since then, He indeed has become the center of my life, and I would like to exhibit that in ALL I do, including photography. www.jesulayomistudios.com/about/
