At Get Unruly, we believe in the power of stories—the way they connect, inspire, and celebrate who we are. This photobook is one such story: a love letter to the heartbeat of Detty December, where Lagos transforms into a kaleidoscope of culture, chaos, and connection.
This book is more than a snapshot; it is a testament to the moment. Years from now, it will stand as a historical artifact—a window into the vibrant culture, creativity, and community that defined this era. Through these pages, we aim to preserve not just memories but a living archive of what makes Lagos in December a cultural phenomenon.
As we assembled these pages, we aimed to capture more than just images; we sought to preserve the soul of the city during its most vibrant season. From the glimmering nights under Lagos' skies to the pulsating beats of Afro-culture, this book is a testament to the beauty of Black lifestyle, creativity, and the moments that make life unforgettable.
This project was no small feat. To everyone who shared their time, talent, and trust with us—thank you. To the photographers, writers, designers, and collaborators who brought this vision to life: your creativity and passion have made this book a reality. Special thanks to Ebuka Nwobu and the Vogue Boys for their insightful contribution, reminding us of the power of community and the spirit of celebration.
At the core of this photobook is an idea we hold close: "Own Your Story." It’s more than a tagline—it’s an ethos. Whether you're navigating the chaos of Lagos traffic, dancing to Afrobeats under the stars, or embracing the quiet moments of reunion, this photobook invites you to own the magic of these stories, because they’re yours to tell.
As you turn these pages, we hope you feel the energy, hear the music, and see yourself reflected in the spirit of Lagos. This is only the beginning of our journey to document and celebrate the world through the lens of Unruly.
Thank you for being part of this story. Keep watching—there’s so much more to come.
Sincerely,
Tobi Efunnowo.
