No! Wahala Magazine is a free print photography magazine championing authentic visual stories by African Creatives. It is one of the first magazines within Africa focusing solely on contemporary photography.
The magazine was founded in early 2020 by Anne Nwakalor, a Photo Editor and Communication specialist based between the UK and Nigeria. She saw a huge issue around 'Representation', 'Othering', the 'Western gaze' and other ethical issues within the global photography industry, especially pertaining to some INGO's and News publication's coverage of Africa; that a form of colonisation still exists, except this time, with a lens. There are many talented African lens-based storytellers within Africa, however, only a few are seen; We are set out to change this.

The aim of this magazine is to showcase important visual stories told by African talents on the continent and get them seen by industry professionals. It is also a platform where Creatives can learn, be inspired, network and better their visual storytelling skills also serving as a safe space where photographers can share their wins and the difficulties faced within the photography industry. No!
