Nairobi, Kenya.

I was utterly shocked by the massacre. So many people lay on the ground; some were already dead, others writhed in pain or lay in shock. I photographed this woman, whose image seemed to summarise the ghastly attack. The next day, I was sad to learn she had later died in hospital.” </blockquote> </div> </div> </figure> <div class="widget widget-profile"> <div class="widget-header"> <h3 class="widget-title">Profile</h3> </div> <div class="widget-content"> <div class="wrap"> <p><strong>My first memory of photography is with my family,</strong> where photography was a top pastime. Interestingly enough, many of the first photographers in Nairobi to shoot at a professional level came from my community.</p> <p><strong>I learnt to take pictures at school</strong>, through the guidance of my older brother who was already working with a local magazine. It was a soft landing for me. Later, when I started freelancing, I had already enrolled with the New York Institute of Photography.</p> <p><strong>Afterwards, I tried to find my way into newsrooms, </strong>but as I was so young, no-one took me seriously. One day, angry villagers killed four gangsters. Word of the attack reached me very early on and I rushed to the scene where I was the only photographer. By the time the story had spread and the mainstream news photographers arrived, hours had passed. I took my black and white films to one of the newsrooms and that kicked off the start of my career.</p> <p><strong>On a personal level</strong>, the job that left the biggest mark on me was the Westgate attack. I used to go to the mall with my family, and the idea that it could have happened while we were there really affected me. This was the third time I had seen so many deaths in such a small area. It was an extremely heart-wrenching moment.</p> <p><strong>Photography is a humbling experience</strong>; it has shaped me in many ways. To a certain extent, I express myself through every image I take; my life is a touch of art.</p> <p><strong>If people could see the details of life as a photographer</strong> does through their lens, then maybe the world would be valued much more.</p> <p><strong>Every day, I aim to photograph for a global audience</strong>. Although it is not always possible, I try to portray the African continent in a positive light.</p> <p><strong>I enjoy photographing the day-to-day lives of ordinary people</strong>, capturing their struggles and hardships through my images. I document humanity’s suffering, frustration, happiness and hope.</p> <p><strong>I respect God the most,</strong> and then the people with whom I interact in my daily life, as they are the reason I am who I am today.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="widget widget-image widget-behindthescenes"> <div class="widget-header"> <h3 class="widget-title">Behind the Scenes</h3> </div> <figure class="image-wrapper"> <img sizes="(min-width: 500px) 100vw, 50vw" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20160416190836im_/https://photos.wi.gcs.trstatic.net/MKqxIs2OI-VsuDIH_B0wxOPJc-JSoFQxpKeBLY2Bpz_l-Yr4v8tLiY0fGuVGl-u8INCIjwuY0QZsLMEqnPhmlg 380w, https://web.archive.org/web/20160416190836im_/https://photos.wi.gcs.trstatic.net/dqXP9WC0Q5E0WCSnUdU6DQkLzDANgtERkcik9Gmpzxlblwy7vLV9DpDF6FQsl9Eh7mQZy6v86GknFfeIjCM5aQ 480w, https://web.archive.org/web/20160416190836im_/https://photos.wi.gcs.trstatic.net/JriyrsiwoBOmJqrlYRQaSnpaGahC9SSNCDoNqAms-GYVzO23j4dcCo7zWl-Br2KK854QPsuz57_i3Hd3ZEzHvA 768w, https://web.archive.org/web/20160416190836im_/https://photos.wi.gcs.trstatic.net/EiKHoOTkQCIdv4W4GQYzPFwGfyVq6KzCmmMLytCcNt6IljrhW5uw19ElpSb_W7W8ErFjGIY4BH9ujhFf71wZHg 980w, https://web.archive.org/web/20160416190836im_/https://photos.wi.gcs.trstatic.net/e9hyHkaRFZdDV_jLZuTS6q8aZKhUUvpACBkD_mX897rFyRldxe59GhLR-ssWmK8Ahv5ej8iBbtmi3FXxvdsIyA 1230w" alt=""/> <figcaption class="figure-meta"> <time>20 Jun 2014</time>.
