Tejiri Odjegba

Biography

Tejiri Odjegba is a highly sought-after Director of Photography (DoP) in the Nigerian film industry, particularly known for his work in "New Nollywood" urban dramas. He has become a frequent collaborator for top-tier digital producers who want to move away from the "home video" look toward a more cinematic, high-contrast aesthetic. Odjegba’s work is characterized by his sophisticated use of lighting to heighten dramatic tension. In SOTH, his cinematography is instrumental in creating the film’s moody, secretive atmosphere, using shadow and shallow depth of field to mirror the internal conflicts of the characters. By early 2026, he is recognized as one of the technical leaders in the digital film space, ensuring that YouTube-first releases maintain the visual quality of theatrical cinema.
