Akinbode Akinbiyi’s photographic strategy in Being, Seeing, Wandering centers on exploring urban environments with a contemplative and observant eye, capturing the nuanced interplay between people and their surroundings.

The images document moments of everyday life, reflecting themes of presence, movement, and the human condition within the sprawling cityscape. The mood is often introspective, inviting viewers to consider the layers of existence in public spaces through a wandering gaze.

Published by Spector Books in 2024, the book assembles 252 pages of thoughtful visual narratives that emphasize the complexity and quiet rhythms found in urban observation.
