Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Street photography has emerged as a significant medium for capturing and portraying the essence of urban life. It provides a visual narrative of the everyday experiences, cultural diversity, and social dynamics within urban settings. In Yola North Local Government Area, Adamawa State, street photography serves as a lens through which the complexities of urban living are documented, from bustling markets to vibrant street activities and architectural landscapes. According to Musa and Ahmed (2023), street photography not only captures the aesthetics of urban life but also highlights societal issues such as poverty, resilience, and cultural heritage. However, the role of street photography in portraying urban life in Yola North remains underexplored, as the practice faces challenges such as inadequate recognition, lack of access to advanced equipment, and limited platforms for showcasing works. This study investigates how street photography captures and communicates the urban identity of Yola North, emphasizing its potential as a tool for social commentary and cultural preservation.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
While street photography has the potential to document and portray urban life effectively, its impact in Yola North is limited by several challenges, including the lack of professional photographers, minimal public appreciation for the art form, and insufficient platforms for dissemination. As a result, the rich urban narratives of Yola North remain largely undocumented, leading to a gap in visual representation and cultural preservation. Existing studies on street photography primarily focus on its global applications, with limited research addressing its role in specific local contexts like Yola North (Bello & Yusuf, 2024). This study seeks to address this gap by analyzing the role of street photography in portraying urban life in Yola North.
