A Storytelling Initiative working with independent creatives across the African continent to contribute respectful and relatable visual stories from the continent. We work to take back and own our narrative by collaborating with creatives in their countries or regions. As a team of African creatives, we aim to challenge the long held stereotypes about our people - one image at a time. Because we are from the communities we photograph, our understanding of the cultures and the people reflects in the stories we create. We work with organisations and companies to create visually striking and dignifying stories. Just reach out to us with a story, location and timeline, and we will take care of everything else. We advocate for fair working conditions and are bridging the gap between local talent on the ground and our International clients and this connection results in intimate, dignified storytelling.

I was born in Uganda, and all my life can be traced to the country. In 2009, I discovered a budding relationship between Photography and me while undertaking a Procurement Bachelor’s degree at University. What began as a passionate hobby took up most of my time at University. Through that period, I applied myself to the teachings and learnings of different photographers through their works and from all sorts of online platforms. I am continually growing as a photographer and forever glad that my path landed me here at the intersection of cameras and people. I am more of a Documentary and Portrait Photographer, but open to taking on other related assignments. I hope that while you’re looking through my gallery, you find a way into my heart. Should you feel a connection, I will be eagerly waiting to hear from you.
