 hunting in enu kawio in deeply in de manyi I hope you enjoy it like did Ahmad wajadi wa pa hei hei hei hei wajadi We are moving on to our second interview. These people are called photographers. They are not the best people. We love them, I know. But they are not the best people. First of all, they will frame you. Yes, they will frame you. Then they will shoot you. Then they will hang you somewhere on a wall. How cruel can that person be? It's right behind you. They will frame you. They will frame you. And then they will shoot you. And then they will hang you somewhere on a wall. Wifi? Yes. How cruel can that person be? How cruel can that person be? We are not that cruel. We are depend on them. We depend on them and their lives. First of all, kwejuwa kwa studio kwenu kwa pigepicha, unna kwa kwa orredi something you are expecting, kwa kwa kwa expecti on ya maani. What we prepared for that? So, today we are talking about the art of photography and Mr. Waifah is in the studio. He is not only a photographer, he is a comedian, he is an event planner, na 봐요 ibu sutulu kaanastahika marekona, benaduusti moneya wifi kахa biaso matimentsu ...but leo sana sana ni mapecha. Hele, hele, leo mapecha. So, it seems like, not it seems, it's actually that ukona unavalia kufia mingisana. Photography, comedy, videography, so many events. Why did you choose to do photography in particular? First of all, before I learned into photography, nili fana degree in computer science. Ya, immediately cleared high school in 2012. I did at the green computer science and mathematics. But, unfortunately, it was not my passion, right? So nili tupresha tule, maybe ya mzazi, le kumetoka high school, and then suji usyari bike, so araka, araka, kumemengia kampu. So nili nili fanya, but, aiko ina nipatia hele, onaget, aiko ina nipatia. At times nili kwa naipatia kiyasi na kimbiamu auditions za comedy. But, in terms of photography, after nili ma liza, nili ma liza degree in computer, and then suza nili kwa nzakupata intresana in photography. Kuna staff learning nili kwa nga sponsored, nili suma kisie, I was sponsored, nika suma mambo ya fail. And then, pashunia nga photography kazi di. Initially, actually, siku jwa ita kwa that serious. Nili tule, in a group of five people, maybe uswanda kupigwa picha, I was always the one chosen, I don't know, from simple things like fun, onaget. But sisa piesa zingini na umanga jubu, una piga se picha kali, alafukia opatia kupigwa. I know, I know. Una pigwa pituza, pituza, pituza. Struggles over photographer? Struggles. The main challenge by the infotography, equipment. Cameras are very expensive, onaget. Kuna msi flani pali upcoming. Una jua, most of the time, wasomera in kiyoko, the best photographers, utapata they have really good equipment. Equipment, yes, expensive equipment. So, kuna msi upcoming apata nashut nasimu. But kenya na visualize kwa kili ake, kenya niza execute aki poyo kamera. He's the best, onaget. Utapata, msi moyan anza, manu kamera maybe cheap, maybe up to kama 30, 35,000. And then kuna mtu akuna, kamera up to 800,000. Inatoa mo quality, inatoa mo details, inatoa mo everything, onaget. So, the main challenge over photographer inakwa nga ni equipment. You must have the equipments, you must have a speed light for events. For example, usiku, I think, one of the main challenge equipments. And Sijui, is it usually a myth? Because, as you say, struggles maybe niza kwa ni equipments and among other things. So, there's a pie chart I have up that ina, that is, ino nyesha what people we think about photographers and what they actually do. So, we think that a bigger percentage of photographers is taking pictures and the other one is having fun. But in actual sense, kazi anu mingini, social media and blogging, meeting, networking, editing photos, I think that is the biggest one. Studying and learning how to be a better photographer. How true is this? It's 100% true. I do photography, okay, nili anza for fun, but I'm not sure enough kama ali landlord. We all come along. So, film is business. Ima mbo as jodi ni pigi piecha, infakula us ono piga piicha, lafu ono kusumbo on the time, ni wali ao jali piiha, ono get. So, utapada ni mende event, for instance, ono jua, most of the times jumbona to say ma, photographers ukana piicha, ono get. Like, okay, mimi ni kifanya wedding, aama ni fanya corporate, kuna ele terms and condition ni me, siki zana na client, ono get. Ima bia, these pictures will be delivered maybe in 24 hours, ama in 2 days, ina depend na vile tome siki zana, ono get. Lagi saka kuna wali ni usumbona sana, ono maybe, bro, ema zi ni siya pos, ni siya pos, siya pos, infige. Kidokidoku wa siya kuja, ono taka pictures. And then, you know, editing a picture is not that easy. You at times wala pii ga client piicha, and maybe ono pata their face ikona maybe some acne, some acne, or ikona ni ni. So, you have to go and take your time to edit those pictures. So, ono ngepale kwa lightroom ni ni, ono zi, una edit. So, uta pata piicha moja, umediti fukituka ma 10 minutes. Ono get. So, ono ni pii ga like, on average of how many photos? Eh, ni me pii ga, I have more than 20,000 pictures. I have a lot of pictures. So far? Ya, I have a lot of pictures. So, ono ni kwa na sema, sasa ono na piicha moji, ono take ituka ma 10 minutes. And then, umefani amu 2 pictures, kama 300. So, you can imagine the amount of time you have. 300 times 10 minutes on a photo. Goto e sabua raka raka, Ioni how many? It's a lot of time. A lot of time. It's a lot of time. And then, ikunamu 2 maali, ali dandia piicha na na kusumbua. Na wea li li piiha piicha na na ngaoji. So noma na, ono ato na branding photographers, hawa 2 maagi piicha. But in real time, in real sense, inakulanga. At times, mi wedi piicha, adi machi na ni uma. Juna shina palu kwa la pii, umeka even more than 8 hours. Ono edit ma piicha za client. Ndo utu ume. So, ono talka. Ni hasu. Ni hasu. It's really deep. Yeah. So, um, uwe seba uwe li enda shuli, kufanya computer, komitya science na engineering. Yeah. So, if there's someone out there who wanted to be a photographer, ila kitu enyu umelan sofa, do you need a degree or any kind of qualifications to do photography? Um, actually, to be a photographer, I think we just need passion, dedication, a lot of dedication. In whatever field you're doing, you must have passion in what you're doing. Kuna tuengi sana huku ofisi na maybe hukazi of reishi, maybe they want to sing. Ono get. So, mi na sema, if you want to be a photographer, ama lazima hiku eni kitu kunda ni hako. Ani kitu na penda. Ono get. Juh, if you heard taking pictures, always kua photographer, if expect, as in, lazima expect some things, like, eh, bro na pige piicha, bro na fanyu ni ni, lazima huku na yo, kitu fulani. So, mi kitu hiku eni kunda ni hako. You just need passion, and then see lazima huku na degree. Yeah, see lazima. I learn a lot of things, even after my, after my graduate, I still learn a lot of things in YouTube from professional people. So, utapata lecture, ani kufunza witu mob, ani kufunza, eh, if you want to take a picture, it's okay design, ni hivi, lo skin. Ya na kufunza, in itu aji theory, but practical part, you keep learning about the practical part. To nambiyo hanga, to be a good photographer at times, okay, most of the time, daily just take pictures. You never know. All the time. Ya, nizakuna tembe heivi kubarabara, ni oni kitu fulani, for example, na ni hi pige piicha. Ono jia na hi piicha kwa nyomba, ni kiangali heivi, I will learn something new. Hi piicha nige, nige hi fanya heivi, hi fanya heivi, ingetotia puwa. The next time, ni ki, ni ki udi the same location, aba mendi clienta mi ni ambiya, eh, ni kuna shoot, na ni o location, nani nini kwa nopige piicha previously, and I have a better way of taking the picture, ina tokiya also. Kali kabsa. Ya, ya, ya. All right. So as you take your photos, zivu viliuna, say ma, you can take your photos anywhere, you keep learning. Are there any licenses that your government ina kuitisha? Kuna kwa na license. How can you get them? You cannot just take pictures anywhere. Ya. Oni za, ni ki kudakuako, am authorized to take pictures because it's your place. Oni get. But kuna some places are prohibited. So you must have a license. Ya, kuhu, for instance, uki patakamizi za media, you can just go anywhere, take pictures, aku na msa taku liza. Kwa liza. Ya. All right. And we talked about equipments. Ya. Na tukasa ma equipments, kwa li ni expensive. Kameria kwa kanzel kwa dani. Amo lians, yana simu. Mi, mi, mi, hi le do yo kwa li. Ni lianza kua develop passion, ono ni kwa klasia, ya, ya pictures. Actually, siku wangana kamera, ila tu yo kwa li kabisa. So ono pata, ehi wa sana ma piga klicha, ni ni na cameras, kuna ni ono tokana oza u home. Obvious kwa nanzel liza shule lia, kini su na juazi na ubonga sana. Ziko always books. Ziko always books, bade u na mbi wanga. Na wkona assignments. Mbi buki wa de Friday, adi next week Friday. Aso nashanga ni ni ni. So, the first thing, as a photographer, na mibi kuna interest, yubaya ni sticka. It's just 3,000 shillings. How big? Ya, a good, a good sdikada. Ya, that's 2 GB. So you buy that one. So that you, ukumamu tu kamera, kama ni ya 5 minutes, wuneka sdikadi ako, bro manze chatuni pide iki chaman. Chatuni pide chas, alafu na ipega. And then after that, wunabaki na sdikada, wunapiana kamera winiya we. So you can na home, wukona futegi tu nil kuna taka, you upload. It's as simple as that. Basa mimi, misi kuna kamera, kuna msenili kuna omba sana, amitua David Gitu. But then you na jwa, ok, mi na se manga iwi, wunona in life, at times we expect too much that kuna se flani, one is a kusahidiya in life. Wuna get, kuna mse flani mo nyana konga, na is equipments, niki moomba atani sayidiya. Anda se wukuni ima. And then kuna wale wene, seni wako God sent. Wuna get, akuna wile God, wunana slong asuna jitu ma. There's no way God will just abandon you. You'll get help from strangers. Ya. Ita kwa 2 just like that. Nimatend, several workshop, is a canon, just by the grace of God. Na, when you without connection, without money, without anything, like we caught on in a drive, and then you will keep learning a lot of things. Ya, ya. Now that photography is something that you make money from, right? Is it your day to day? Is it something that you do to make money? Is it your main job? Actually, I'm an emcee. I'm a comedian. And also a videographer, music video most of the time. And then I'm also a photographer. So, is a video sort of same as I was all-rounded. I was all-rounded by stuff like running this and that. Ya, events. So there's this kameim I have. I don't know if you make this face when people ask you so that's your real job. Is this meme about me coming to it to kameka? And it's saying, my face when taking a photo for a client and he asks, so what's your real job? Is that the face you make? My face when taking a photo for a client. So what's your real job? Ah, is that the face you make? That's the face you make. That's the face you make. Ah, that's the face you make. Manza, okangaliya poa. Manza, eboangaliya. Onajoni bile, photographi kenya, it's taking, tseme dutuna ingiya. Yukwe liya. Dutuna ingiya po liya po liya. I pick up atumu ingiya. Onajit. Nika ma bile, kitambo YouTube e kwa popilisa na kenya. But people are making money through YouTube tutorials. Onajit. Tsebe, e isa hindo job ina ingiya. Kitambo ilugonga, nanyana na piga na picture kwa ni onajit skimdu na kuja ana ulezamadia kwa. Nana fanya nga ni ingiya. I know, yes. So all your time done kwa na make a face. Onajit kama udijie, kuna suingumu ulezamadia. What else do you do? What else do you do? Is that your real job? So, talentia kwa manze, it's, it's, it's, it's worth it. It's money. Yere job manze, usi, mibadiemu raki ni ulezamadia. What else do you do? Takach. Manze nakach. Ruta fail, ruta fail tu. Ya. That was on a light note. Bila, akuna tu rado. That was on a light note. So tumbe sayu na tumbe equipment gani? Kama sayi na tumbe kanon, 5D, Makfo, it's a, it's a, say me siya matcha. Ya. Ni ni? Pro. Ni pro. Ya here sa whenajua, do badwa ni nalipiwa alone. Pole nalipiwa alone, pole pole. It's a very expensive kama. Ya, approximately pesangachi. 350,000. 350,000? N halinezi na pe bezangapi. Ni na na kwaomba? Ni na na na kwaomba. Kahfila li piye trico eto tikawe bata. Ai, my friend. We atau gozawa. Ya nuliyanzana huomba sayi got yours for 370,000. Aba na ma desi jalipa. Nyaa. Uko na. Uko na. I know. Ata kama nilun. Nyaa ko. Okay. Nye process. It's a process. Trust the process. Trust the process. Alright. Other than camera, a stick card. What else do you need for a photographer? Tripods. Tripod maybe for still photos, but I don't think so. Because camera is setting poor. See kama video, okay shake shake. It affects on editing. For camera, if you just set the shutter speed well, even if you're moving like this, it will just freeze the moment. Depending on how you set it. You want it. Lenses. Basically just need a camera, license. Lenses. Or lenses. Ya by then you need to invest in lenses. Kwa sababu, badewa na pata na kana client, kuna picha mewa na manze, hi picha ni kani. Na gate. Badewa na lens, maybe I ta siya ako. Mubi yomba. Juh, because kuna lenses. Lenses are very expensive. We have lenses up to 200,000. Just a lens. Kuna yengina nindogo 2 EVI. And then you want 150,000. But it's a performance ya ke. And how it achieves. It's great. So lenses are very expensive. But for a start. In photography we always say, in photography or video. Photography or video is the art and science of recording light. Once again. At the end of the day, you need to record, a story. So after you see, many of you are there. They will tell you story. Only when you have that camera. So basically, camera is just there to nini. to to end hang. Ya. It's always a surprise. You can always go to Madaibu. Ya sure. You said sayu nalipi ya kameraya kufo about 300 nd, ilkua 350. Yes. Yes. How do you feel when someone asks you to take a photo for free? I still have another one on that one. I have another one on that one. Badi ya kidi na fana yamununastia, wini wu goanya. But I want the answer in it kuna ya. For that question. Yes, in the meantime. To listia. Ah, there it is. Why yes, I'd love to take your photo for free. That's exactly why I spent thousands of dollars on this equipment. Yikes. Is that what goes through your mind when someone tells you to take their photo for free? Knowing that you bought your equipment for so much money. Me by the way, me say, me say kama na do, me mila ilatu oku ele, misaki na mga, e bros wini pege picture, nambere nansu idea simi ya akum. Oh God. Idea simi ya akum kupige. Jo nia tu ta sumbwana bure, nage, ta sumbwana bure. Unless too, these are the way we are. Friends. We are benefiting each other. Maybe kuna influence or something. You don't go scratch my back or scratch yours. Because at the end of the day, jubiako, me, for instance, okuna hotel, I cannot come to your hotel nani kose kulipa. I will pay. I will pay. So okikam kwa jubiangu, I also have to benefit. Nage, because at the end of the day, I have bills, I have to help my parents, I have a lot of things to do. I have goals that Ademunye na feels jachif badu. I really need to step up nage. Yes. I have a challenge for you today. As we wind up, you are creative, right? Yes. Unona kitu enye, we can't see. Na una say, you need to walk around and take pictures every day. It's a learning process. Na joja kuja na kamerayakum. But what it says, photography is a not-up, observation, it's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. It has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with how you see them. Right? Yes. So you have your phone. Yes. Take a look around the studio right now and take a picture in 20 seconds. 20 seconds or even less 15 to 20 seconds. Take a picture and we need to see that picture and it has to be creative.
