Hi there! :)

Thank you for your interest in my work. 

A little about me- My name is Grace Ekpu, and I am a published documentary photographer and filmmaker. I am also a Broadcast Journalist. I had my BA in Mass Communication (First Class) from Babcock University Nigeria and my MA in Media Management from The University of Glasgow. 

My media career started off when I joined TVC News Africa as a News Producer; I later joined the BBC in 2017-2022, where I was a Senior Journalist, planning and commissioning stories across Anglophone West Africa. I fell in love with Digital video storytelling, making some successful shorts like this  , this and this . More here.

I moved to the Associated Press' Global Investigations Unit, in 2022, covering oceans and fisheries with my visual expertise. You can find my work here.

I am passionate about storytelling and bring a human touch to all of my work. Humanising issues, bringing them to the fore, and making impactful work to address or find solutions to global issues is important. With over a decade of experience, I have worked in various scenarios and creatively executed briefs. I enjoy brainstorming ideas. So, please feel free to contact me for commissions and anything else!
