Inakuru Keña, we have these awesome and really skilled lady photographer who goes by the name Lady photographer. My name is Wangue Gisuru. I am a photographer, I am inakuru Keña and this is my story. Well, Wangue Gisuru will today be sharing with us about her passion for photography and how it all started. So this has been a really long journey, very long. I started over as a hobbyist. Actually it's my father who has a challenge. I used to buy me a camera all the time. I was constantly used to have a camera at home and I was like the bona fide, far-bending photographer. I started over as a hobbyist. I grew up and I started pursuing my career. I realized that this is something that could make me money. After university and jobs are not coming through, I got a job at a commercial today in Nairobi. That's why I got to shoot this train as a money-making venture. Every time I say I quit, something always comes up that calls for me to pick up my camera. Once I start shooting and clicking, all the joy is restored. I realized that I cannot quit because it gives me happiness. Now, everything is not always smooth. Some people still have some prejudice when they first meet her. So here is high experience. So two things that people do not still do photography and it's okay, I've come to accept it. First, it's my height. Secondly, I'm a woman. I was like, what's the point of being a woman? I was like, well, what's the point of being a woman? They have this cutting that they can't deliver. They cannot get the shot that they anticipate for until they see the photos. The reaction when people receive the final products of my job is, what is going to be going? I was like, wow, I didn't expect that. So that keeps me going. It gives me hope for better tomorrow. Because every time, it's like a new chance to give an end to a new end. No one is believing in me. Then they give them the job and then the trust is restored. It's a cycle and it's a shock for me. I love it. I'm used to that. I don't even notice it anymore. Apart from the law lights, photography has actually taken one way to shoot two places and even made her meet people she never thought she would meet and places she never thought she would go to. Photography has been, I can't explain it. But it has taken me places I never thought maybe I'd ever get there. I've been able to photograph the first lady in this country and I've been able to do photography. Photography has been the same room with great men and women. I've been in the same room with Prasamashel and Mokami Kemati. That's a very major highlight for me because wow, that's so much history. So so so inspiring. So those are some of my major highlights and amazingly so my major highlights in photography are for unpaid gigs. Gigs that you did not charge for but you just happen to be some other camera. Those are my greatest moments for me. So now here is the story behind the brand name Lady Photographer. Wow, the name Lady Photographer, finally story. So my BFF and I calibre. We were just brainstorming on some ideas about the empowering young women who are taking up skills that could be sometimes as odd jobs, I'm a job that's regarded more as male oriented. So when you came up with Lady Photographer it was, it was supposed to be a platform to empower young women interested in photography and videography. It's a platform designed to empower women who think that photography or videography is meant for men. So we were just like encouraging young ladies. Take it up, if you have the passion do it, do not regard it as a man job and as time moved on the names stuck and I decided well it's a good name for them to fight with me so why not go the business with it as well. And yeah it's it takes it as a way that brings with people and every time you mention Lady Photographer I'm not a woman but a woman. I'm a lady photographer and you are sure that person will forget that name. Wow that's great and so remember we cannot end this segment without getting to hear about her vision and her ultimate dream and so he is the vision and the ultimate dream for Lady Photographer. Actually my ultimate dream is to have all ladies still like women who do everything from UK and Gato Heavy, Kuala reception, the person who welcome Swizza, Lady, the person who takes your photos is a lady, the person who delivers Swizza lady when you go out there, the people who will be doing all our jobs will be ladies and are thankfully you are working towards that so if I have two female colleagues who you are working with, and yeah it's a step towards realizing that dream. So number one before you embark on doing anything always ask for passion for it. Don't jump into the bandwagon because you think it's trendy, you think it will it's quick cash, sorry please photography doesn't have quick cash. It might for a day or two but then you have to dry months so if you are doing it for the money or in the wrong way because you'll give up soon so for anyone with a passion or photography do it. Fight, align yourself with people who will support your dream, people who will mentor you, people who will help you to enhance your skills, do not give up on your passion because passion pays. You can look at me, my passion is what is paying my bills right now, I did not do photography in school, I did something totally different but it's my passion that's paying off. So if you have a passion be disciplined about it, pursue it with all you have. If you can fill a position to acquire a camera do because you only get better photography by shooting, you get better by doing. You're best shot but also you'll always capture it in the future. To know it's a good picture you'll think wow this is a deadly shot and then you'll be able to be better than it is. So pursue your passion, work on it and be disciplined. I love you so how good always pray to God. That's in guiding you.
