 We are about to talk about travel and tourism, and not just that, but specifically photography. Today, I am with Peter Njoroge. He is a travel photographer. Karibu sana Peter. Thank you. Kusalama. Thank you so much for coming. Thank you so much. And of course today we want to talk about what he does and how he managed to juggle a few things. We shall let you know about those particular aspects as we continue. But here we want to talk about travel tourism. We want to talk about matters concerning photography and of course what he does. I would like to state that he is also a student. So interestingly, he has managed to do all of this at the same time. I know there is a student watching us today and you keep on telling yourself, if you know what I'll do it later, I'll do it later. He has done something and of course he has a story to inspire you. The ashtag as always is why in the morning at Ram Aguko and at Y254 channel is why you can be able to engage with us. We value your feedback. Let us know where you're watching us from as you keep on telling us your thoughts on this conversation. So Peter, let me start with finding out more about what you do for somebody who is watching you for the very first time. Tell us something a bit more about yourself and of course where people can be able to engage with you on social media when you're done with that. Peter Njerogge is a 21-year-old person. I do more of travel photography and tour guiding services because I did a diploma in travel tourism and business studies. But in the course of my studies, I can realize I could do photography and combine both my career and my passion. So you did a diploma in? I did a diploma in travel tourism and business. In travel tourism and business? Yes. Okay. But I had a passion in photography. In photography? So I saw, I really had to combine. Aha, aha, aha. Did it work? Did it work? Yes. Of course it did. Of course it did. I'm looking at how you've managed to juggle all of these things. Have you graduated? Ya, I'm about to graduate this year. This year? Yes. Still on tourism? Ah, you did that, still on tourism? Yes, on tourism now. Tourism. Okay, okay, okay. So you decided to take photography as a business? Yes, exactly. A while still a student? Yes. I was doing photography when I was taking back at school. Same school, same school. But tourism was the course that I was taking. But you know photography was a passion. You get? So I was doing photography for passion, just taking my friends pictures and later on I came to realize later on I came to realize that it was something that could take me somewhere when I combined all of them together. Now, I'm looking at the aspect of what you did. You're saying tourism, but business studies, that's the whole course. That's the whole course. Business studies, that's the whole course. Diploma in travel, tourism and business studies. All right, all right. And I would like you to let me know about this. When you started this particular aspect of tourism and photography, how did you start? For many students they say that you know what, starting is always a problem. How can I get the capital that I need? I don't have money. Starting is always a problem for so many people to the point that they actually end up not even starting the first place. You know, but it takes years to start. How did you do it? How did you manage to pick it up? So let me start from maybe how I first got how I got my first gadget. But I believe someone needs to start with whatever you have. So even the funds that we have, you can just start with that. You know, you don't have to have big gadgets for you to start what you want to do. Yeah, it seems a squeeze. Yeah, just okay. So I used to take very nice photos of my friends and with time I came to realize I can perfect on this. You were using a phone or? Yeah, I started with the phone. You know, just taking some pictures of my friends wanna come, let me pause, you just take photos. But with time I had a friend. I had a friend who was in the UK and he was coming to visit in Kenya. So he noticed that. What you're doing? Where did he notice them? He's a friend from here. He's a family friend from Kenya. So he realized that and he brought me a small camera. That is what I started with. So what are you doing with these photographs that you are taking? I was just taking pictures of my friends and for some little cash, you know. Maybe someone has, they want to update their status and they need something to post. You just take a hundred bob and it's okay for the day when you're a student you get some small cash and you survive. A hundred shillings? Yes. How many photos are, what are you taking with a hundred shillings? Say four. Four. I was charging 25 shillings a photo. A photo by then. And you print or that's a soft copy? No, soft copy. I just take a photo of you and then take to my laptop and then share it to you directly. Even now editing, that time I wasn't, I didn't even have knowledge of editing. I didn't even have knowledge of these editing apps. There's something I forgot to ask you. Yes, I mentioned it early on. Where are you on social media? So that as we continue, you can check him out on social media. So I looked there? Yeah, yeah. So you can find me on Instagram at pita underscore kings001. Yes. So check him out pita underscore kings001. I'm looking at your page and I'm seeing you're already doing a very fantastic job. Thank you. The first photos, I'm comparing the very first ones and the most recent ones. It's quite a journey. It's quite a journey. Yeah, sure. When you look at yourself back there, what are some of the pointers that you managed to pick out, those lessons that you learned along the way? First of all, I will say personal discipline comes hand in hand with what you want to achieve. Like you have to understand that whatever you do today counts. Like you have to stay focused on what you're doing because everything counts because all of us, we are looking at having a brighter future. So you have to ask yourself, what I'm doing today is it contributing to the person that I want to be in the future. So you have to work smart and motivate yourself to do better every day. Why are there times that you are a bit lazy? Yeah, you know, sometimes you stay in the house and ask yourself, are you doing the most of you? You ask yourself like, maybe sometimes you've even done work for the day and you are at home done finishing, done editing and you're just, it is your day to relax but you still feel you're not doing the best. So if you have that feeling in you, it helps you do better and work harder every day. All right, so in fact that you check him out and of course that's on his page Peter Anasko Kins 001. That's on IG. That way you have, I'm seeing most of your photos that are coming in up in Imona. This is you. Yeah, that was back in college. First semester, by the way. First semester? Yes, I was 30. The very missing part of this guy and he looks so... He's a nice woman. You see young guy. I have those shades. A friend of mine took me that photo. With a phone, I believe? No, it was a camera. Anikon camera. It was a camera. It was a very good friend of mine. I went and picked up a picture of Bure when I was back at school. Bure? Yes. So, okay. What about the camera that you got from this friend Now, with that camera, I started marketing. You know when in every business that you do, you have to market yourself. And mostly I'd say market yourself to the strangers, people who don't know you because they are the people who are going to bring business to you. So, I started... I had even created a brand before. I had created Peter King's photography back in 2017. I just went to the social media and Nika Angalia, some of the... You see the posters. I created a logo back then. Funny enough, I didn't know I would come to do photography back. But that was only in high school. Yes. I didn't know. I just created a logo and left it on my phone. I'm not seeing the logo now. No, it wasn't. I didn't put it on my Instagram but I just made it and put it on my gallery. It was just there. You intend to use it in future? Yes. You will make a new one? I just made it. But when I started photography, I started using it. I started water marketing. There's a brand you wanted to create? Yes, there's a brand I wanted to create back then. But you know, I didn't have the closure of water exactly what it was. So, I just... I saw someone... There's a video I saw on how to create logos. So, I just went and made that one and put it on my... I just saved it. Wow. So, later on is when I came to start using it. Now, how did you start marketing yourself after you got your first camera? Just from my students, my fellow classmates. So, you see girls' love photos? Yes, they do. I, they do. Girls' love photos? They do. So, I used to carry my camera to school. You would talk... I used to talk to the guys at the gate so that they could allow me to bring it into the court. Yeah, because entering is an issue. Yes. So, they used to allow me. And I also had friends who were doing journalism. So, I used to lend the camera to them so that they can use it for practice and stuff. So, in the process, maybe after class, I used to take some few photos of friends. So, with that, they also used to sell me to other friends. Yeah, they always recommend you to others because, you know, you took a good photo of them and they upload it on their status. Exactly. So, their friends ask, what took you this photo? They say, Peter, okay. Tell him I want a photo. Just like that. And they brand gril. Just step by step. And they are uploading it on their own account. Yes, but mostly on their status, on WhatsApp. That is where it all started. Yes. So, after that I came to get hold of another camera that helped me get into the real business. Apart from now, the students, I started working with tour operators. This is how you started your journey of travel photography. Yes. Now, when I finished school, that is when I realized that because I have done photography, because I love doing photography, and at school I have done tourism, I need to combine both. Okay. How did you come up with this idea again? So just... You know, everybody is... You know, in campus people think of going to clubs, drinking, partying. You are thinking of photography business. Yes. I would say I wasn't the party guy. Yes, I would just go to a friend, I realized maybe you have movies or series, I just come with my flash disk, I carry all of them. You go home? You go home and watch. That is what I was doing. I feel you. And it really saved me. Ah, yes. Big time. Because now you have moments, personal moments where you now think about what you want to do with yourself. Yes, exactly. And that's how I come up with ideas. Exactly. Like the moment where we are going to finish school and my classmates are happy they are finishing school, but myself I'm seated back there, asking myself what's going to happen next. What next? After school, what next? I can't go back to the village. I need to stay around and do something. A question many students don't ask themselves. Something of marriage, by the way. So, I don't know what to say. Yes. So, we were in a class of around 38. 38, I guess 38. Around 12 boys and the rest were girls. By the time we were coming to finish. Final year? Yes. We were just two boys in the class. My goodness. And surprisingly, this guy we just met. You see, this is where I come to understand that. The friends that you choose when you're in college. Very important. Very important. No boys who are in your circle. Yes. You have to choose your circle very wisely because it determines the kind of person you're going to be. This guy used to motivate me because he was... We used to compete, you know. We used to stay together, always. We used to do those exams whereby you called... Revised the whole night because we were doing ICM. What was that? These exams we used to book them. You book three months. You wait for the exam for three months. And then now you do the exam. And then the exam was sent to the UK for marking. And then now you wait for three months for the results to come. So they were very important exams that if you failed that exam, it could really cost you. Because you love to wait for another. I don't know how many months again. Yes. And then there's a fresh payment. Yes, exactly. You had to pay 32 pound for the exam. And you see most of the time we were doing like two exams at the end of every semester. So you can imagine a parent sending you 32 pounds and then you play with the exam. You play around with it. Then you fail and then you have to take it again. We used to revise the whole night. The night before the exam, we used to stay a week. Now you're graduating. We studied for the exam. Which one? They are yet to announce the dates. They had said we are going to graduate last month or 20th but the dates were postponed. So they said in around two or three months the graduation dates had been postponed. Invite me, I'll come. I'll attend. You'll attend. I'll welcome. Yes. Sharing you there. But now Peter is doing travel photography. Yes, sure. So now how did you start this aspect of travel photography? Because you said you now conceptualize the idea while in school. Yes. I finished all my exams in 2020 December. So you remember as I had told you you had to wait for three months for the exams to come. But now you're done with school and the corona that time had hit the country very hard. Yes. So every two of them that you approach for even attachment they tell you we are even sending our own employees at home. So it was really tough. But I got a chance at my sister's workplace. She lives here in Nairobi. And that is when now I started building myself. But the work that I was doing there was not anything to do with the tourism or photography. So it was more of selling electronics. But you see at that moment that was a chance that I really needed because if I couldn't get that chance I would go back home. So I knew by the time I planned myself by the time corona is the rates are going at least lower I would have build myself so that if I approach these two companies again at least I'll have something to show them. So back in school my course had some things that I could do containing the same course. You see it is tourism and business studies. So my lecturer used to tell me because we were friendly with one lecturer called Mr. Moki in school. They love him man. He's a very nice teacher. He motivated most of us to do better. Do you know it is a lecturer that motivated me to want to be a presenter. Sorry for another time. So now he gave you the idea. He was telling me Peter you know this course a lot. So if you get these certificates you can work as a tour operator. You can work as a hotel representative. You can work as a front office. You see you can work as a tour guide. So I kept those four points in mind. Yeah they kept on running through your head you know. So I knew when I was still working at my sister's place by the time the corona rate is reducing by the time the country is opening up again by the time the country is opening up again I'll be able to convince the tour operators or anyone in the tourism industry to give me a chance. Okay. So what I did I started with applying for passport because if you are told to work as a hotel representative and you get a chance in a foreign country you need a passport. So you went for a passport first. Clever move. Yes. I wanted to ask you about that. Clever move. I went for a passport first. Again if you want to work as a front office person you can't just go to the employee and tell them I can work with computers well you need papers. So I went to do the computer packages again. I got that certificate and kept it. So as a tour guide and a tour driver you need a driver's license. I went to school to learn driving. And all these things you are doing these things to build up yourself. Yes. Bring one here, one here and another here. You buy time but poli poli tu. Kujipanga tu poli poli because if you don't do it it's going to get messy. So you got all those things set up. Yes within a period of eight months I managed to do. And how did you now get to do? Now the journey of tourism and photography started now when all my papers, all my results had come now. The one you did for the... The one I did from school. All my results. Ili amizitatu. Yes Ili amizitatu. Sasa zote ziluko zisha kuja. And the school now ona niko kazi. And most of my friends washanzaku wind attachment. You see. Mimis wind attachment badu niko kazi. So it reached the time I told my sister like... I need to start doing what I love. I need to get out of my comfort zone and do photography. And tour guiding. And I also need to do attachment because it is important for the school documentation. Yes. So I started making calls through the social media handle. I value Instagram sana because that is where nili patakazi yangwe akwanza. I started with a company called Tachual Tourism Travel. So let me get it from you straight. So were you freelancing? Exactly. Or was it like a job that you approached? Exactly. I started with attachment. Oh as an attachment. As an attachee. As an attachee. So I'm in the house making calls to tour operators asking them if they could give me a chance for an attachment. You see. And then I make calls to different tour companies and they tell me it is still very tough we can't give you a chance. So I go to my bedroom after making a call to Tachual Tourism Travel they tell me our company is still not that big but if I hear, if I get a chance I'm going to contact you. And then I go to my desk and find my camera. I get mad. Iko hapa. Ina kazi. So I decided to call the tour company again. I called Madam Nancy and told her I could also do photography for your clients. You see when you're taking clients to maybe say Masaimara they need photos for their memories. I could take photos of your clients and do tour guiding. At the same time? At the same time. And she was like okay. It was on... You proposed to her? Yes. It was on a Thursday. I can't forget that day. It was on a Thursday and she told me okay wait a minute I'm going to give you a call. After like 30 minutes she called me and told me I have a trip to Samburu National Park. I want you there. Just come with your gadget and make sure you come very early in the morning so that we have a brief talk. How early was that? 5.30 in the morning. You should be there by 5.30. I was supposed to be in Nairobi on Saturday 5.30am because it was an overnight trip. So I had to be there before the clients get in so that I could have a briefing with her on how we are going to do things. So what I love is you managed to... You got an idea. Now that you have the ability to talk to this person you proposed that I can do this for you. You do not need to wait for them to let you know if a vacant position was there. You created your own position. Yes. That is where it all started. Because you realize that if you do not talk yourself out no one is going to understand what you have in mind. So I had to share that idea with her and you see it worked. It did. So I told her I will do both photography for your clients and also wildlife photography and do tour guiding for your clients. So now this day came. This day came. This is the day of recording. If you mess it up they will never call you again. This is the chance that you can't waste. You have to be there. Whatever happens you have to be there. Did you have all the equipment you needed? It was on the last day. You were supposed to be there by Saturday. I needed lighting. I needed lighting for my camera. You see the speed light. I needed lighting for that camera. Which you did not have. It worked at my sister's place. I had 5000 in pocket. I came to town. I bought batteries. I also bought a larger memory card for the pictures because I just had a small memory card for I just had a small memory card. It could take let's say 50 pictures and you see I don't want to go there and mess things up. So I had to buy a memory card that could hold all these pictures. Anything that I'm going to set my eyes on. I came back with 100 shillings. 100 shillings. I have gadgets in my pocket and have to be in town that early. So I can't take matter. I had to take an Uber. I'm going to meet a person that I've never met before. Uber can't be 100 shillings. Yes exactly. It was a bit challenging. So first of all you have no money. You're meeting someone you've never met before and it is that early in town. So I talked to my sister about it and she told me ok no problem I'm going to sort you some cash for the Uber and make sure when you get to town be safe. Tell this guy to hold on until until you meet this person that you're supposed to talk to. So I get to town and it was around it was around 5 5.25 that's when I got to town and we were travelling with those overland tracks. So until I set my eyes on that overland track I had told the guy I'm not getting out of this car. The Uber? Yes. So I told her where is she because you're not sure whether you're going to meet I'm not sure who I'm going to meet I'm not sure if I'm going to meet Nairobi. So I have to hear me say but until until I see the overland that I'm supposed to travel with So by around 5.40 By around 5.40 gari Kakuja and you see now those stickers that they put I saw Tatuels wasn't travelling That's when your heart was like thank God This is legit So I came here and I met the lady who was organizing a deep conversation we had in the morning before the client started coming in and we took off and that's how your travel photography journey started That is how it started. You're still with her? At least bring them up now We went snooping a bit through your page We will bring them up as you continue Bring them up now at least Let us know Take a look at them there That was Why laughing about this Why laughing about this That lady We went at Kamp We went at Kamp Dunda I don't travel much You should We travelled with that lady at Kamp Dunda Embo So she had booked with a company called Joven Safari So you see How do you ladies love photos? So every moment they see camera they want pictures So you go to Miss Mama Stopover for breakfast That's where I took that photo And you loved it You're also loving it It looks good That's a picture I took in Narobi National Park I saw this photo and I loved it Did you get to this So what we did We were just driving across and I had taken clients with a company called Safari Update Travels So when we were just driving around that rhino came came around and I told the driver just stop for a bit You must say your life now I had a zoom lens It was like 3 100 meters away 100 meters to me That is so close So we waited as it was coming And it was walking straight ahead of you No it was grazing So you just have to time and capture that moment So I took that picture in Narobi National Park Narobi National Park That was in January Yes These are things you only see on Agio So you edit That one Before you come to this I love this photo Let's go back to the rhino list Remove the captions there There's something that I've seen at the bottom of that photo Is that your logo But that is not the logo that I made back then You know you have to You have to change If you can look at the photos that I've been taking previously They have a very tiny watermark with a lion With a lion and then Peter King's photography But this logo I made it Like I made it a month ago Let's say a month ago I think photographers need to brand themselves It is very important It is very important The next one Was it a sunset or sunrise? Yes that was a sunset photo That one I took in Amboseli I'm seeing an animal there That's an elephant You know Amboseli is the land of the giant elephants So we were just from our game drive And when we were going back to the camp I saw that elephant Again I told the driver I took that photo How many photos did you take for it to get these particular shots? I took like 20 pictures Because you know the camera you have to set the lighting and stuff Everything So some time we may overexpose So we may take a photo so that at least you pick the one that is a bit pleasing This is so specific I can see the dust I can see the elephant That's the tail It's like it's walking or grazing I don't know what it's doing I think it's walking Yes it was crossing around So the aim was to get every detail on that photo You're not going to get the elephant At what time was that? Around around 6.30 Roughly around there Yes We took a game drive This one I took All Jogi You know You are here You are doing what you love So you have to put the best So for me With photography and wildlife photography This is something that I don't need Anything to drive me to it So this also? This one I took in All Jogi So these are tamed These are tamed elephants Nizileza They are not wild These ones are not wild But you can't get too close Miniyama ni miniyama tu I love what you said Miniyama ni miniyama tu That's a bird I took At Lake Naivasha So you just zoomed in? We were just from the boat ride When we were just coming back From that Crencent Island There was a time I wanted to take a photograph Of some birds But now I had to move closer But I always mess it up Because they always fly away I think it's all about Persistency And identifying Exactly what you want to take So for this you know It's a boat And funny enough Something with wildlife photography You don't see Kamaveli unambiyangam to pose Upige Lasimu upige continuous shots Because uta piga zingine You find them they are shaky Unona Yes You have to take continuous shots And from a distance So
