Kalada Briggs is a visual storyteller, aerial photographer and creative technologist based in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. He was raised in the Niger Delta and growing up in this region deeply shaped the way he sees the world. His work is rooted in the environmental struggles, cultural identity, and untold stories that surrounds him. Through drone cinematography and photography, he captures the meeting point between heritage, the environment, and urban development. For him, the camera,especially from the sky—is more than a tool; it’s a way to document truth, raise awareness, and hopefully, inspire change. Close to a decade, he has used drone technology and multimedia tools to amplify the voices and stories that often go unheard—whether it’s documenting massive infrastructure developments or revealing the realities of oil spills and environmental degradation in the Niger Delta.

He found Pixpectiv, a visual innovation company that explores how creativity and technology can merge to tell Africa’s story differently. He also serve as the Lead Creative at Amazing Aerials, a premium stock agency that specializes in high-quality aerial photography and video content. The platform is dedicated to tellingauthentic stories from the sky—documenting infrastructure, landscapes, culture, and the environment through cinematic visuals.As one of the early contributors in Africa, he played a key role in shaping the agency’s creative direction and in training hundreds of Nigerian photographers and drone operators to meet international standards. I’ve been instrumental in onboarding and mentoring many Nigerian contributors currently on the platform, helping them not only improve their craft but also monetize their work through stock licensing.

For Kalada, Amazing Aerials is more than a stock platform—it’s a movement to empower local talent, promote African excellence, and ensure that the continent is seen and represented through the lens of its own people. My work often lives at the intersection of technology, sustainability, and culture—capturing everything from polluted coastlines to vibrant cultural festivals and the soul of indigenous communities. Beyond just creating visuals, he's passionate about sharing what he has learnt. Over the years, he has  partnered with governments, NGOs, and media organizations to produce impactful work, but also to train and mentor the next generation of African creatives—especially in drone operations, stock photography, and how to monetize their skills through media. This journey is more than art to me—it’s a form of advocacy, a way of rewriting how the world sees Africa, starting with my own corner of it.
