“Abayomi,” derived from the middle name given to Sekani Broughton by his mother, translates to “born to bring joy”—a purpose he carries into every visual story he tells.

Born in St. Ann, Jamaica, and raised between St. Mary in his early childhood and Portmore in his later years, Sekani’s perspective is shaped by a layered sense of place and experience. He began his creative journey as a lifestyle photographer, developing a keen eye for narrative and composition. His passion for storytelling has since evolved into a career as a director and cinematographer, where he crafts dynamic visuals that blend intimacy with intention.

Now based in New York City, Sekani’s signature “contrastic” style—marked by bold colors and striking juxtapositions—defines his aesthetic across both photography and film. Whether capturing raw moments or directing cinematic narratives, his work is always about creating meaningful, authentic connections.
