TG Omori Tells Aspiring Photographer to Respect Privacy After Being Denied Access to His Shoot

TG Omori has replied to a young photographer who complained about being denied access to his video shoot.

Omori advised him to respect professional boundaries and closed-set rules.

Renowned Nigerian music video director TG Omori has responded to an aspiring photographer who lamented being denied access to one of his video shoots.

The young photographer, identified on X as @Scripture231, shared his frustration online, explaining that he had gone to Omori’s set, hoping to meet his mentor and capture behind-the-scenes photos. However, he was stopped by the production manager and barred from taking any pictures.

He wrote: “Today went for a TG Omori set with a renowned Igbo artist, thought today would be a great day meeting my mentor, but the production manager bounced me and said I can’t take BTS photos! Note to self: one day the dreams would be realistic.”

In his response, Omori advised the aspiring creative to respect boundaries and professional protocols within the film industry.

He wrote: “Even if you become the number one photographer in the world tomorrow, you have to respect people’s privacy. A closed set is a closed set. How do you expect to walk into my production set and start taking behind-the-scenes images without the producers’ consent because you have a dream?”
