About - The Amazing Niger Delta

About Us

The Amazing Niger Delta is a five-year regional documentation and creative-economy initiative dedicated to producing 500,000 high-quality stock photographs of the Niger Delta by 2030.

The program not only preserves the region’s cultural and environmental heritage, but also creates sustainable income opportunities for participating photographers through global stock photography platforms where their images can generate earnings for years to come.

Covering the nine Niger Delta states – Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Delta, Edo, Cross River, Abia, Imo, and Ondo, the program captures the region’s:

Cultural heritage

Landscapes and biodiversity

Festivals and traditions

Riverine ecosystems

Communities and everyday life

Architecture, crafts, and culinary identity

The goal is for the Niger Delta to rank among Africa’s most extensively documented regions through visual media and storytelling by 2030.

This initiative ensures the Niger Delta’s stories are visually preserved, globally accessible, and economically valuable to the creatives behind them. Through world-class documentation and professional development, The Amazing Niger Delta positions the region as a cultural, ecological, and tourism powerhouse, while empowering photographers and visual storytellers with global exposure and sustainable earnings opportunities.
