THE NIGERIAN STREETWEAR CULTURE THROUGH THE LENS OF PEEKO HD
by Benjamin Unah
·

It is no news. Peeko HD has been on an amazing run for over two years, and if you are tapped into the scene, then you are familiar with his work. He is actively building a digital archive for the Nigerian streetwear scene – something to look back on in years to come.

ARTSALGHUL FOR NINE
He is arguably one of the hottest photographers in the scene with a vast catalogue; his work ranges from brand campaign shoots, covering music festivals, shows, and pop-ups, to music video sets and cover art.

His photography exudes warmth. It often places models in raw and unfiltered, natural environments or against plain backdrops — there is rarely an in-between for Peeko.

WHITE DYSTOPIA CAMPAIGN
CYNICAL BEHAVIOR
Peeko’s active involvement in the subcultural community is very evident in his work, as a large portion of his catalogue features mostly streetwear brand campaigns.
He also shot some of the hardest campaigns in the scene last year, making him one of our top nominees for “Photographer of the Year” 2025 at our 2025 WRAPPED AWARDS.

NINE NOBLE VIRTUES CAMPAIGN
Some of his standout campaigns in the past years include Cynical Behaviours’ White Dystopia + Crimson Veil, XPLOREFW’s Trust Fund Baby, TRIADS’ Sandwash Thermal, Snug Wrld’s ‘It’s Us Never Them’, and many more.
Over time, Peeko has fostered close relationships with key figures in the scene, including Scottyolorin, Egertton, Planetsocarvin of Deloca Studios, Tobi Naiwo, the Nine crew, Voja of Homeland, Mavo, and others.

Some of these relationships have evolved into impeccable creative duos, built on years of collaboration and mutual growth, including the one and only ‘Blown Boy’, Scottyolorin; the petal enthusiast, Pith Africa; and the cultivators of the Turndasix movement, Nine.
