Tidiani Shitou
"El Hadj" Tidiani Shitou (1933–2000) was a Nigerian photographer best known for his pioneering photographs of Yoruba celebrations and his portraits of doubles in Nigeria.
== Personal life ==
Shitou was born in Shaki, in the Oyo region of Nigeria in 1933. Part of the Yoruba tribe, Shitou was first employed as a tailor and merchant in Nigeria. In the mid-1950s, he began learning photography from Mama Awane, eventually moving to Mopti, Mali in 1962. In Mali, Shitou continued his photographic education alongside Malian photographer Bosco Maiga. During this time, Shitou traveled extensively throughout the country, settling first in Gao and then in Bamako. He continued to travel throughout southern Africa in search of photographic subjects and photographic mentors. In 1971, he settled again in Mopti with his second wife, Sarah Woussouf. He continued travelling throughout sub-Saharan Africa in search of subjects and techniques. In 1980, he made the pilgrimage to Mecca and upon his return, he acquired the nickname "El Hadj" after the headscarf worn by devout Muslims. Here he established his studio, Gangal, where he worked until his death in 2000. Shitou was survived by four wives and 26 children.
