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.
Kinare – or Kinale – Forest is located on the A104 just past Kijabe on your way to Naivasha. It’s been a stop over on two #ShootingKenya episodes from where we’ve attempted to shoot the sunrise with mixed results.
Some wise guy said people come into your life for a reason or a season. For me, David and Shiru are in my life for a very long season – if not life! Our friendship started with a shot I took at David’s proposal and seems to grow with every camera click. Three weeks after their …
Procrastination got the better of me on this one. I shot these way back on 23rd July 2012 on a #ShootingKenya expedition to Thika, Central Kenya. The day started quite eventfully with us being ‘arrested’ by some security guard at a fuel station on Mombasa Road for attempting to mount a GoPro in one of …
From when David proposed to Shiru at All That Jazz December 2011, I knew they were a special couple. It was my first time seeing a public proposal. Upon David’s request, Aaron Rimbui took a break from his keys and before the crowd gathered at Tribe Hotel, David went down on one knee and popped …
At 41-megapixels, the Nokia 808 PureView has a pixel count that leaves even pro D-SLRs in the dust.
I met Joyce and Jonas about a week to their wedding. All the communication between us for about six months had been on email and telephone. Yet when we met, it was like we’d been meeting every week! Well, as we found out, Joyce and I had met before. She visited this blog when looking …
Our night light is looking lovely tonight, isn’t it? Lovely enough to be shot.
Shooting weddings is as much a privilege as it is a responsibility given to you by the couple. For starters, the bride and groom open up their lives and give you unrestricted access on the most important day of their lives, then gently place on your laps you the huge responsibility of capturing the day in a …
Several weeks ago, together with other photographers, I started taking Monday photographic trips to different parts of Kenya in what is tagged #oneTOUCHLive and #ShootingKenya on Twitter. This past weekend, we were in Central Kenya.
The 11th chapter of Hebrews describes faith as ‘Confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see’, followed by a list of men and women of faith. If this list were to be updated, I believe Laban and Agnes would find their names there. It was such a joy being a …
This is the first engagement shoot I’ve done and wasn’t it fun! My first encounter with this lovely couple was at All That Jazz’s December 2011 show at Tribe Hotel. Aaron and his band stopped play as David got on stage and before the entire audience, proposed to Shiru, who accepted to marry him, much …
I met Kevin ‘Ja Picha’ Ouma at oneTOUCH, a meeting of photographers and videographers with a common love for Jehova, the giver of our talent. Above this, Ja Picha and I also share a love for bONK tees. He was blessed to get married to his lovely fiancee in April this year and for the …
