I’m a firm believer that content is more important than tools used to create it. So when I as a Sony shooter had the opportunity to attend a Canon Masterclass with one of the top wildlife photographers around, I forfeited sleep and a warm bed to be at the Nairobi National Park before 6am.
Not being a huge sports fan, this assignment was a challenge I’m glad I accepted. My brief was to document the social side of the 2019 Magical Kenya Open, and where possible, capture some golfing action.
It’s the largest refugee camp in the world, and home to some of the most resilient people I’ve ever met. Many have walked through fiery experiences, emerged strong, and are now rebuilding their lives one day at a time. And for several thousands attending schools in Kakuma, education is their change to re-write their destiny.
In the only wildlife park within a capital city, giraffes are no longer the tallest creatures.
Lamu’s pristine beaches, Swahili architecture and cultural festivals have adorned tourism brochures and attracted visitors for hundreds of years. But for the residents of this archipelago, there is more to Lamu than the attractions that have made it a World Heritage Site.
This morning, the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority held a media briefing on the status of remote piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) in Kenya. Here are the highlights.
I’ve always considered motorised transport the best way to explore new places. Get in, gas up, pick a destination, go! The downside is that a car cocoons you from the environment, making you more a tourist and outsider, almost snobbishly telling those you pass on the road ‘Look at me looking at you feeling pity …
I’ve always shied away from fashion assignments, preferring documentary photography because I’m not the greatest person when it comes to directing models. So when Nzilani from Bawa Hope called and asked me to shoot their new line of jewellery, my first thought was to recommend someone else. Then I thought, ‘Why not?’. I got out …
If you live in Nyeri, Nyahururu or Nakuru, there’s a huge chance that this is where your meat comes from.
Towards the end of 2017, Onetouch received an invite to participate in the 2018 Great Grevy’s Rally. Eager to earn our stripes, we said yes and as January came to a close, we ventured into northern Kenya to participate in the national census of Grevy’s zebra.
It’s one of Kenya’s most beautiful counties, blessed with rich cultures, wildlife and landscapes that are a treat for anyone venturing into northern Kenya. Malnutrition, poor agricultural practices and poor infrastructure have invited poverty and left the residents of Marsabit unable to take advantage of economic opportunities as vast as the county. FH Kenya have stepped in to change this.
I’ve done some crazy things to get a good photo; this was the wildest!
It was a pleasure being on the frontline of a significant moment in Kenya’s history, thanks to IMG Kenya and the doors that pursuing my passion have opened for me. I was called upon to cover the second inauguration of Kenya’s fourth president on 28th November 2017 at the Kasarani Stadium in Nairobi.
19.6 million Kenyans registered to vote at this year’s General Elections. Before most of them got in line, I visited two polling centres in Nairobi to see how the day had started.
With less than two weeks to Kenya’s General Election and more people getting their news online, I’ve decided to do a quick review of presidential campaign photography that’s been posted to Facebook.
I’ve never tried to have a one-on-one with Uhuru Kenyatta or William Ruto, but something tells me it wouldn’t be that easy: whom would I call for a number? Or talk to to tell someone who would whisper to them that I’d like to have a word? There must be a long list of protocol to be observed, most …
I was recently called upon by the King Baudouin Foundation to document the innovations of this year’s King Baudouin African Development Prize winners. The Prize rewards outstanding contributions to development initiated and led by Africans in Africa. It also seeks to draw public attention to the many inspirational stories, including challenges and successes, emerging from Africa.
In the beautiful heart of northern Kenya sits one of the most scenic community conservancies in Kenya. It covers 49,000 hectares teeming with wildlife that attracts visitors from far and wide. Apart from that, Kalama Community Conservancy is where some of Kenya’s most exquisite jewellery is made.
There’s been a lot of controversy about Kenya’s largest infrastructure project since independence, centred mostly around the Kshs327 billion price tag. I’m not here to throw my weight behind any of the arguments, but simply to show you what I saw when I took a ride from Nairobi to Mombasa.
If I ever doubted how free spirited children are, my doubts are cast away, never to return. All it took was spending a day with pupils of St Martins in Kibagare, seeing them jostle and push in excitement, eager to get their photos taken.
