A graduate of The Duke Ellington School of the Arts, I credit the institution with broadening the limits of my creativity and instilling in me the love of other art forms such as plaster and stone sculpting, wood work, pencil drawing and painting. The merging of these mediums is what now informs my personal projects and inspires my creative photography concepts. I picked up photography initially as a means to an end, to capture imagery that I wanted to sculpt, draw or paint, then along the way I found that my love for photography was deepening. It was however not until I relocated to Nairobi in 2009 that I became a fully-fledged photographer. Today, I produce Art concepts for exhibition and sale, and also specialize in Commercial and Corporate photography and lastly, I am a CANON trainer for the Africa region. Show less
