Nii Motey Adielson is a Ghanaian artist, podcaster and creative consultant living and working across West Africa. His artistic practice is rooted in introspection and applies both digital and traditional photographic techniques to tell stories of becoming and belonging.
His images focus on the quiet, intimate pockets of life that tend to be overshadowed by the hustle and bustle of daily existence.

Nii Motey considers photography to be therapy, with each image he makes a milestone that marks the path of his personal journey. He is a self-taught photographer who worked in the fields of advertising and marketing/design for 7 years before becoming a full time photographer in 2019.

When he’s not writing about himself in the third person, Nii Motey likes to stroll along the beach while listening to music.
