ROAD TO SUCCESS: FROM STUDENT TO PHOTOGRAPHY ENTREPRENEUR

During my studies, I had an amazing experience. I met a lot of people who turned out to be friends till today and Rosebank college brought us together. I have learned a lot from my lecturers and fellow students. Some of the lecturers turned to be mentors till today. 

I studied The IIE's Diploma in Journalism at Rosebank College. The qualification introduced me to photography, especially a module called photography. It taught me the art of telling stories through visuals and words. 

To a creative person like myself, storytelling is everything. I love turning words into pictures; and studying empowered me to refine my skill as a photographer. It is essential to have the basic technical knowledge of photography to take beautiful photos. There is a technical aspect of capturing emotions and telling stories through pictures.

I run a photography company. We take and sell pictures. We work mostly at private events. We work with varied brands and industries all around Africa. Lux photography is growing and generating job opportunities. Currently, I work with a team of three: videographer, photographer, and editor, and myself as a head photographer.
