“I have been part of the transition from traditional to modern day photography. I totally agree that a lot has changed in this industry. It started as a hobby since childhood, as I grew up my inspiration for pursuing photography as a career was drawn from Mwanzo Milinga.
“Back in the days, before the introduction of digital photography, I worked in a photo lab. I had an opportunity to print Mwanzo’s work. The art behind his pictures, the way he captured moments, his feel on journalistic images is what inspired me. I loved working on his images.
“Mwanzo saw something in me and believed that I could do more than printing. He (Mwanzo) was wind to my bush fire. I took a further step to learning photography -- “photojournalism” -- to be precise. And here I am today, a professional!” he says.
