A few weeks ago I had the honour of meeting and photographing 'Nia the light'.
Collaborating with inspirational people is one of my favourite things about my job and to say that Nia is inspiring would be an understatement. 
Thank you for sharing your light with me.

ANOTHER TRIP DOWN MAGADI ROAD

3/5/2018

Comments

 
Last week a couple of my friends and I took off down Magadi road to visit my Masai friends.

I was delights to see the amount of rain that they're having and could barely recognise the landscape, it has been transformed.  The grass has shot up creating a beautiful green carpet dotted with beautiful white flowers.

My friends have been planting and are flurishing.

It still amazes me how easy it is to get so wrapped up in daily life and superficial things.  Visiting this village always brings me back to basics.  The simple joy and happiness at a little rain is absolutely beautiful.  
​
Count your blessings.

ALISHA AND THE SUN

22/4/2018

Comments

 
I'm so excited to finally be sharing these images with you.  I've had them on my hard drive for a few weeks now and have only just had the time to go through them, select my favourites and do a bit of retouching.

It's always a pleasure working with the wonderful Alisha Garufi.  This time went for a wandered across a field at golden hour and got some natural shots.

Enjoyx

ON THE WAY TO MAGADI...

15/1/2018

Comments

 
I love travelling

​Last year I made it my goal to travel more around the country that I live in. Kenya is so diverse and beautiful and I feel like so many of us that live in Nairobi often go to the same places and do the same things instead of trying something new...

At the beginning of last year my best friend and I took a trip to Lake Magadi.  Along the way we were flagged down by a beautiful old Masai woman who begged us to take her water containers to the lake with us and fill them up for her.  
The village was suffering due to the drought and they had no access to clean water.

Since then I've been back to visit her and her lovely family 3 times.  They welcome us with open hearts and I feel blessed to be able to have this experience. 

The last time I went I stayed for 2 nights, lay under the stars, bathed in the trickle of a stream and laughed for hours on end.

What I've learned from the Masai is generosity.  Every time I take them something they share it around even it's something small and make sure everyone is involved.  I want to be more like that in life.  

I urge all you Nairobians to explore Kenya more because there is so much beauty on our doorsteps.

Anselm Kitengela Hot Glass

29/8/2017

Comments

 
A few weeks ago my good friend and fellow photographer Reece McMillan and I took a trip to Kitengela Hot Glass.

Having grown up on Masai Lodge road, across the gorge from the glass blowing centre, I had been to visit many times but had seen the step-by-step process of how the items are made.

I was fascinated by how quick and efficient the workers were and amazed by the process of a hot blob of glass on the end of a rod, almost magically becoming a beautiful bowl or a wine glass!

Below are some of the images that I took, Enjoy.

I've been lucky enough to attend 2 of the free art workshops that Fitsum Berhe and Honey from the Moon are hosting.  Its the perfect way to spend a Saturday morning, sipping on Ethiopian coffee, making new friends and getting tips from the master himself Fitsum!  I've always loved drawing but never seem to take time out to do it at home, so this has been such a joy.

Don't worry you haven't missed it, there's on more workshop happening this Saturday (10th June).
