Danfos And Kekes Take A Trip Abroad In This Genius Photoseries

So did someone actually drive a danfo on the streets of London? Sadly, no. Talented Nigerian photographer and writer, Wonuola Lawal used her amazing Photoshop skills to create a brilliant fusion of pictures taken in Lagos with those taken in major cities abroad and she called it ‘The Displacement Series’. Her reason is simple – “by combining two different stories, each picture is able to tell a new one”.
