Hi, I am Emmanuel 'Manne' Agbarakwe.
I am the Creative Director and founder of Manneshotit Photography. Although I am a pharmacist by training, art has always been my true passion. Photography became my way to connect deeply with people while creating a meaningful, lasting impact. With over a decade of experience, I specialize in portrait photography while also documenting weddings and special events.
At Manneshotit Photography, we approach each client uniquely. We believe everyone has a story worth telling, so we take the time to understand you personally and create an experience that truly resonates. We empower, uplift, and celebrate each muse, capturing their most authentic self.
Over the years, our work has been recognized in prominent publications like Vogue, BellaNaija and The Guardian Life. Leading brands like Dangote Group, Promasidor, United Capital, and Red Bull have trusted us, and we've collaborated with inspiring individuals like TY Bello, Nosa, and Tosin Martins. With us, it's all about “capturing the best version of you.”

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
“When I developed my vision board for the wedding, I wrote your name as my preferred photographer. I wasn't sure how we’d afford you, but I knew I wanted you to capture our day, and I'm so glad you did. Your patience, your ability to capture my real smile, and the way you encouraged Raphael meant so much. Your work is a gift, Manne, and our lives are enriched because creatives like you persist despite the hurdles. These photos are absolutely gorgeous—thank you so much.”

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
"I had a fantastic time with Manne and his team. They were patient, warm and willing to try out my ideas. Manne did an excellent job with our photos and was always willing to go the extra mile. Looking forward to another session soon!"
DR DESOLA ASADE
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
"I had a great time working with Manne. I'd never had a photoshoot organised and was a bit uptight at first. He understood the brief...made me comfortable...set the mood...took the edge off with candid pictures as we spoke, then set up a playlist I liked, as if he'd 'learned' me. We had a good time shooting and the product - excellent!"
