Since 1826 when the world’s first photograph was taken by Joseph Nicephere Niepce in France, the power of the camera has grown beyond borders and boundaries. It has blossomed into a global power house! Photographs and videos don’t simply create special effects, they equally help tell narratives in clear, vivid and beautiful styles, especially in this age of digital media. In this latest THE LENS, a section dedicated to capturing high-profile, top-notch events, we bring you two events that took place recently.

Family members, friends and well wishers gathered for a quiet birthday dinner in honour of the former First Lady of Bayelsa State, Mrs Alayingi Sylva. THE LENS captured some highlights of the event:
