Ajeuro Abala is a Toronto based photographer from Ottawa, Ontario with a BFA in Photography Studies from Toronto Metropolitan University’s School of Image Arts. His practice contemplates human interaction with the world around us via the implications of our presence within it, or lack there-of. For Abala, interests in architecture, design and landscapes inform his thoughts on built and naturalistic environments – how we affect them, and how they in turn, affect us.
