This has got to be one of the most fun weddings I’ve had the privilege of shooting! Kash and Patricia made us so comfortable working with them, we felt like honoured guests at their wedding. And what an honour it was to cover their nuptials. Theirs was also special for me as it was the …
I spent four years schooling on the slopes of Mt Kenya and I can’t recall mustering the courage to brave the morning chill to get a glimpse of the sunrise over Kenya’s highest mountain. The blankets were either too heavy or a certain magnetic force always pinned me down to my bed around sunrise.
My fascination with elephants continues this week after an encounter with several while at Ol Pejeta Conservancy last week.
I had the rare privilege last week of visiting a Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Ol Pejeta Sanctuary. It is one of the few places where you can see chimpanzees in the wild in Kenya, and appreciate how human-like they are. We are so alike that we share 98.4% of our DNA!
This beautiful city never sleeps. For every eye that shuts at the end of a busy day, another opens to admire the star-lit beauty of Nairobi. This is the first part of a series examining the activities that go on in Kenya’s capital after dark. I’ll be posting more photos over the next couple of months.
It doesn’t matter what part of Kenya you come from, there is a high-pitched guitar call to which your body answers to. You may be dressed to the nines and trying hard to impress the lady you are with, or in a courtroom, making the closing remarks on a monumental case. When that guitar calls, …
Sports photography presents challenges that attract me like a finger to an itch. The only thing that keeps me from fulfilling my itch is time. So when I had a couple of free hours before church today, I couldn’t resist the urge to chase pro and amateur cyclists on their 20km individual time trial on the …
Today I celebrate a new dawn for our republic. We as Kenyans have proven to the world that we have matured politically and can exercise our democratic rights peacefully.
We made history today by voting in the first elections under a new constitution, and going against the international media’s prophesies of fighting each other. To show the naysayers that Kenya has moved on from 2007’s chaos, I joined Mutua and Efi at seven polling stations in Nairobi and saw thousands of Kenyans choosing peace.
It’s not too late to wish you a happy new year, is it? Today’s shots were taken as 2013 broke over Diani Beach where I was camped with Onetouchers on our first #ShootingAfrica expedition.
To end 2012, I joined brothers and sisters from Onetouch on a photographic road trip that took us to places Google hardly knew of.
I love the way photography has panned out for me in the last two years. Apart from improving in my craft, I am thankful to God for the connections I’ve made. First, with clients who started off as strangers and ended up as friends as family; and photographers too, who started off as competitors then after …
This is another Mavuno wedding that I was privileged to cover, this time with the assistance of Mark (@marknduati) and Marcus (@marcusolang), two guys packing some serious photographic talent. Frank and Nene’s wedding was full of joy from start to finish. You could sense it from the air of excitement on the day, and taste it in their …
Today’s celebrations were special for two reasons: these were Mwai Kibaki’s last national celebrations as President, and they marked the start of Kenya’s year of jubilee.
This was one of the highlights of my recent trip to the Kenyan coast.
Peaceful Tiwi is located about 20km south of Mombasa, and just 5km before Ukunda. It has clean, white beaches devoid of beach boys or traders trying to sell you trinkets and merchandise.
After handling an assignment in Arusha recently, I needed to join friends from ARK in Tiwi, about 15km south of Mombasa. I chose the quickest route which took me past Moshi, back into Kenya via Taveta, then Voi, Mombasa and finally on Tiwi’s white beaches.
I can’t say I knew Maranga much. We did get to meet at a couple of concerts and he was always in a do rag, a camera slung on his shoulder. He had a simple point and shoot when we met at Hillcrest for Blankets and Wine on 7th March 2010 which had grown into …
Last Saturday evening, I got to attend Just-A-Band’s Sorry for the Delay album launch at KICC. You can purchase the album here. Despite the slight drizzle, JAB put together a good apology for the late release of their album. It was a fantastic show.
I shot these several weeks ago on a #ShootingKenya expedition which saw us catching the sunrise in Nairobi and chasing the sunset in Magadi.
