Streets of Lagos:
Dear Little People
Status: AMVCA 8 Nominee - Best Documentary
This docu-series offers a raw and immersive look into the grit and grace of Lagos street culture. From the high-stakes journey of individuals living with dwarfism (Dear Little People) to the innovative hustle of The Critics making sci-fi with smartphones, this series captures the indomitable spirit of the city.
Director, DP, and Editor, Lawrence Adejumo, utilised a 'run-and-gun' cinematic style to ensure authenticity while maintaining high-end production values.
Films
The Global Standard:
Head of Production & DOP for Accelerate Tv from 2016-2023, in-house Cinematographer for Access Bank and Cinematography tutor for the Accelerate Filmmaker Project, a premier residency powered by Access Bank.
Lawrence Adejumo served as the DOP for over 20 films and mentored more than 50 of Africa’s rising cinematic voices.
The Olive Season 1 & 2
Role: Lead Cinematographer
A high-stakes, moody thriller centred on conspiracy and the secrets behind a seemingly perfect life.
Lawrence utilised low-light cinematography and a high-contrast colour palette to emphasise the "noir" elements of the story, creating a visual atmosphere of suspense that carried across both seasons on Accelerate Plus.
Title: Penance
Accolade:
WINNER — Best Short Film/Online Video (AMVCA 2018)
Role: Cinematographer / Technical Lead
Penance is a gripping psychological drama that delves into the sanctity of the confessional. The film follows a priest who finds himself caught in a moral and spiritual bind when a series of confessions pushes him to the edge of his faith and duty.
To capture the weight of the priest's internal conflict, Lawrence Adejumo utilised a "Chiaroscuro" lighting technique, emphasising deep shadows and singular light sources to mimic the claustrophobic and secretive nature of a confessional booth. The cinematography was designed to evoke a sense of intimacy and weight, utilising tight framing and shallow depth of field to draw the audience's focus to the characters' raw, emotional micro-expressions.
As the primary Cinematographer for this project, Lawrence’s work was a key factor in the film’s historic win at the 6th Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards (AMVCA). This project served as a landmark for the Accelerate Filmmaker Project, demonstrating the high technical bar Lawrence sets for the productions he leads.
