Before pursuing a solo career, she was a member of the now-defunct gospel band Kush. Bello is a member of the Nigerian photography collective, Depth of Field.
Her evocative portraits never fail to rouse strong emotions and have made her one of the most applauded and keenly sought-after portrait photographers in the country. Indeed she has the unique distinction of having photographed three sitting Nigerian Presidents.
