Michael Aboya – @aboya.8

Michael Aboya is a photographer who documents love and culture through his fine art photography. He took this photo, called Deep Waters, in Accra, Ghana and says, "From the start I've always had that feeling of fear whenever I make a decision for my life. The fear of uncertainty and self doubt. Everything begins to feel hopeless. It's like moving in deep waters, you can't see where your feet steps next but you move anyways because you're hopeful in vast hopelessness and because the creator has said that "when you go through deep waters I will be with you, guiding you till you find the shores, till you find home. Therefore choose your path and take that leap of faith even through deep waters and watch how everything stretches out from unknown places to help and guide you reach home."
