Looyeh CineFanG Gears Up For Major Nollywood Releases as His Cinematography Gains Industry Attention
Cinematographer LoyE CineFanG (@looye_ on Instagram) is entering one of the biggest phases of his career as he works on two upcoming Nollywood titles Aja and Home for the Holidays both expected to make notable impacts when they hit cinemas.
Known for his calm, technically sharp style behind the camera, LoyE continues to build on a growing portfolio that already includes Makemation, The Black Book, Crime and Justice, and Threads, Vibes and a Dash of Purple.
His momentum follows the ongoing cinema run of Son of the Soil, directed by Chee Keong Cheung. The film, featuring Razaaq Adoti, Patience Ozokwor, Ireti Doyle, Sunshine Rosman, and Damilola Ogunsi, has earned buzz for its gritty visuals a space where LoyE served as the camera operator and contributed significantly to the film’s tone.
Despite his rising profile, ‘LoyE CineFanG’ remains famously camera-shy. At the Son of the Soil premiere, guests joked that it took an entire movie event to get him in front of a camera a rare moment for the soft-spoken creative.
Beyond his work, LoyE is known for three things many don’t expect:
He left a promising career in tech to pursue filmmaking: He watches more animation than live-action films. He is a committed gamer, fluent in the world of frame rates and consoles.
As anticipation builds for Aja and Home for the Holidays, industry insiders say LoyE’s steady rise reflects Nollywood’s increasing appreciation for the technical artists shaping its evolving visual identity.
