Midday life across Jos, Nigeria — streets, studios, and marketsJos, Nigeria

A young Black man with short, curly hair stands in a studio setting with white walls and a white backdrop. He is wearing a patterned shirt with a black long-sleeved shirt underneath, black shorts, and no shoes. He is holding three orange balloons in his right hand and looking to his left. Scattered around him are several other balloons in orange and yellow, a pink rectangular object, and a gold foil balloon shaped like the letter 'A'. The floor is concrete and has some visible cracks. The scene appears to be set up for a photoshoot. There are no visible indications of the city of Jos, Nigeria in the image.

In Jos, Nigeria, a man in an orange shirt and dark pants stands on a red ladder, working on a utility pole covered in wires. The pole supports electrical equipment and transformer boxes. He is positioned near the top of the ladder, reaching towards the equipment. Below him, the roof of a building with a corrugated metal top is visible, featuring a green satellite dish. To the left of the pole, a storefront displays shoes on shelves and has signage indicating "THE GREAT LAUNDRY & DRY CLEANING SERVICE" and "POS." Several people are near the storefront, with one person leaning on a white railing and another standing inside. A motorcycle is parked to the right of the storefront. The environment appears to be a street with other buildings and a cloudy sky.
