Copyright infringement case settled amicably out of court.

The Kenyan government has officially joined the list of people who do not want me to prosper.

Sorry if you fell for the headline. You’ve joined the list of media houses, corporate organisations and individuals who believe photographers’ work shouldn’t cost a dime as they steal, plagiarise and manipulate our work for fame and profit without our consent.

If you told me that I’d be earning a living from photography when I used to shoot blurry shots, I’d have laughed out loud and told you copywriting is my thing. See, photography was just a hobby. It was one of those things I did when I had nothing to do. I loved creating ads and didn’t see …
