 I'm smiling because I'm seated right next to a celebrity and a big man, a legend in the industry. You'll get to know him in just a few, but before then, welcome back. It's Entrepreneurship Tuesday and we usually say it's money making Tuesday. We usually make it simple and straight to the point. Big up to everyone who always keeps us interrupted, of course on our social media platforms. And now we have our SMS number 20154. You can SMS us beginning with Y254 and we'll sample some of the comments and some of the views you'll be giving out there. As I said as I began, I'm seated right next to a great man and apparently in the film industry and of course in the photography area. Environment, he's a big man. He's a legend who has grown and not grown very many things. Kareepsana, Dax. Thank you so much. Yeshika, do you want to go? I'm doing fine. So how is the system right now? You must relax Asa. Not really bad. We give thanks to the crowd. We are doing well. We are doing well. So, kutawa. Anyway, how is the industry taking you so far? I can't complain about it. So far so good. The journey is not so smooth. We were born in Milima, Kidogo, but we are doing good. So photography and videography is what we do. Yes. For how long have we been doing this? Uh, maybe say professionally about five years, six years. So nilianza will come and come in 208, nilianza officially. But then we will come and come to that. So nilianza will come and come to that. Exactly. How do you begin other way like, I know it's a passion that I have, then I'll come to the professional side of it. First I didn't know nilianza came in a camera from the time I was young. When I used to see the live broadcasting, then I get to admire it, the football match being aired. I came to get interest on those cameras and how to roll it. From there, when I get into high school, that's where I started my photography because there's one guy we were screwing with. What was the name of that guy? But what was your name? Shurel. Shurel. Shurel. Shurel. Shurel was a kushenakadami. Ate. Okay. Sasa. He was a baku kushago, kukondani, mahali, but he was a jurikanana jina because of a fantasy operation. Okay. He was a nilianza, a photography. I used to help one of the guys when I took pictures on weekends, upon janyangu hika hanza. Then after high school, I went away, nika sahau, nika inga to another thing, nika inga Shurel. Studied IT, nika indelaya, over sudden, nikiwa to Shurel. I met one of the one of the fotografer al kukonjubani. He came to Nairobi for a job. Then we met in streets, kaniyama bia, if I'm not busy, maybe I can go help one or two things. Na upon jotu hanza, janyi. When we get there, nika kumiyatandi, onima wak zahidi kumiliko. And that's where nika hanza kuna. Ay, apa, I think this thing is, this thing niko ikondaniyangu. We took endelaya ibo, yeh, hu alikwana kujafua, bigger events, main ilikwa ukuna, unakuna to another event, but yeh akuzi. But because this hanza kukondaniyangu, I get interested, I started mingurin with some of the fotograferz who ko evi. Then ilikamera kwa nanipatia, during the time on akuza, I asked him whether nizanipatia. But kaniyama bia, at a small fee, of which kulezi ofil kwa shida. All right, so uliyama bila, without even your own equipment. Yeah, I didn't have any equipment. Uh, that, your time deal, he gave me that camera, but he asked me for, I think it was 10,000. And that time kulezi, 10,000 was very, very, very difficult. That was inia? That was around 2011, 2011, 2012 there. I used to save the fare. I wanna save the fare manzendo at least for me to get to purchase that camera and you at least nipatika kitu and you is a quender layer. Then you is a quender, those small events. Nilu na kumbukabizuri, that camera was 2.0 megapixel. Canon one. Cyber shot one. But that one can be back in 2011, not like today now. Yeah, nowadays we use, we can say bigger machines. Though they are not small, they are professional ones now. At least they have taken us somewhere. So umesama ule konga iti student? Yeah. Mono kwa optu kuwata iti ufane fotografi? I felt I have, the passion grew in photography more than in iti. I loved iti because of doing the programming, assembling those computers in this, networking, those things. But I find it in photography it's easier. Fikili saana, but then you need in creative. All right. Then I'm going person, I love traveling. In iti you couldn't travel so much unlike photography because I used to go town, town, everywhere there is a graduation in every university I have steps, maybe Garisa University too. When you used to go for these university graduations, why are you getting anything? Yeah, I used to go there and do some few paparazi requests then. Kido kido gotu. So ule na kwa paparazi kwa paparazi kwa mga grau fluid na ini. So you began as a freelance photographer? Yeah. That's where you launched out? Yeah, that's where I started. I started in freelance, in media, freelance, occasions, weddings, those way. Then I used to research a lot for bigger photographers and see what they are doing. They are not too much hassle and I loved it. All right. Have you ever done a research about moha? Moha no? Moha, okay. I will call a local and international photographer. Yeah. I will go to Kina Jeff Kona and they will like those people. Yeah. And when you look kwa ila statistics, nini kwa ila mbogia wa two photographers, kone za je kakwasa ku gani apa iwi, ume groki asi gani from the time we began up to now. I say this in the traditional. Say. First, I was living in Kiviyangu from down because I say, I have no one who has grown up and grew up with me. I grow on my own and a few friends maybe will make working in courage to grow but I am somewhere there. All right. So let's get to that photography now officially. Yes. We are doing events like that. Yeah. Some of the events we are doing today. Most of the events I do is I love weddings. That's why I made Jari, I built in. Okay. Okay. Maybe next interview taku anaya. Wait, wait, wait. It's hour. So you can only note that next interview na kuza takani next week. Kuna ring mahali. Okay. Most of the events are based on weddings but I do conference is on kidoga kidoga too. Kidoga kidoga too. You know, it's kidoga kidoga too. Which is one that event that he felt like this one is a big event for me. Maybe for wedding maybe I did one wedding. I think it was 2017. Yeah. Iluku anani? That wedding was for Mr. T. Okay, okay. So that wedding At least some few gates and some few blessings. Right. Another I did one conference in UNEP. That one opened the door for conferencing and other corporate works. All right. So you not only do photoshoots for weddings and graduation. You also do even for conferences. Yeah. All right. So probably just to make it a mention. Kuku kwa industry kuna ili opportunity na konga umeona. There's a gap umeona. Yeah. Big up. Genu liwa na nandoka venture kwa photography? For weddings, I when I was doing the paparazzi in those weddings and other events, I saw there's a bigger market in weddings because from January to December there's no a single Saturday that that haikuangina wedding. Every Saturday na konga na wedding. And I felt that hakuna photographers kwa inguana isa kava all those weddings. Yeah. That's where I so there's a gap there I can fit in. All right. There's a clip I want us to watch and these these what Doug's photography does. Some of the things that he does. I don't know whether the clip is ready so as we can have a look at it. As we are waiting for the clip, of course, Doug's are you working with anyone right now in terms of your company? Yeah. My company it has about I maybe like 12 people whom I'm working with. Yeah. So those are the founders when we were found out. I'm the founder. The others whom I could join as the job comes. All right. I think the clip is ready. I think now we can watch it. And of course, come a seeing us polen isa na hapa. All right. You know wedding Mr. Tsa. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So from zero ya Rushi. All the way to the end. Yeah. A rough estimation ya pricing is a kwa ni ni. Aama kwa ili ni ni ya kwa listing. For weddings Atakati exact rough estimation. For weddings we have different packages. Depending on the the products we are the clients want and the work to be done there the time maybe to for the coverage but same from 100k. 100k. Well let's talk to the singles. Hamjambo singles water and I know ducks you know I want to talk about nimi onama fanya fushu tza ni ni za proposos. Yeah. So msi na chus proposo proposo na handa anu onama chagumili apia. For me I like the client to choose then I can advise you. All right. Because your taste are different from my taste. Yeah but I can advise you for a better price the one you have chosen. All right. So well kiyangailia kama msi ya kwa bieshara ya photographi kumili msi and you see probably this is not a good ground for photography you can choose somewhere else and advise. Yeah. All right. So that's your work also to advise on the same. Exactly. All right. So now let's shift gears Kido go from photographi to video. Yeah. Did you begin both photographi and video at the same time? No. Video joints when I started the weddings. All right. Because I felt it's most of the clients wanted to be done by one company to do everything the video and photographi. So I get this pressure for looking for someone to do the videography unlike I do the both. Yeah. But basically for me I do photographi when I'm the ground but I also do the directing in photographi and the videography. All right. So the guys that you have are the ones who now do videography. Yeah. But we are primarily luna dina photos. Yeah, exactly. Looking at the quality because when we talk about entrepreneurs we are talking about giving something good to the client. Exactly. What's that one thing that really stands out for you in terms of the quality that you do? For me what stand me for me mostly the creativity in it. Right. The creativity mostly capture the eye of my clients and the the quality is let's say is somewhere standard or high. All right. Depending with the clients. Yes. Yeah. All right. I'd like to have a look at a clip that Dux has done for a wedding. I hope it's ready this time and as they are getting ready let's let's let's let me let's paint a picture of us to ask of how the journey has been from zero getting to where you are right now. Standings in kama is mefika wapi. Kuna picamoda nirona ieru lormari. It's jika my notice. It's easy. Joani gani. Because most of the my photos they trend but it's kwangi nai rogo. All right. So you want to know that nimi minweifanya. All right. Because I work I work with some of the pastors who are trending but pachazangu wanga siieki rogo depending with the clients. All right. Most of the clients I work with them. They like they were they like to be private so they don't like to exposing what their private life. So if by chance I want a picture so by chance I come and tell you staki postiwa. Exactly. So just any directly. Yeah even the weddings. There's something that I've noticed most photographers including you that are doing kukulis logo kwa picture. Do you think social media has impact in terms of how you advertise yourself? Yeah. Very. Mm hmm. The social media ikona impact kubu asana because the moment you are going through your social life nangalia what's trending what uh uki patana na picture ikwa na rogu apu you go to search for my page all my handals here. And apu na unakuja kuna what I do what I have been doing and maybe uki skia uki angale wone ime capture your eye that's the time na una give a counter una to call then you come to and we do it the work job it do. All right. I want to ask a question that ime kwa ki kizumbawa say when you sign off anya photography and video coverage about drones they're still illegal in Kenya exactly what do you think about that they're still illegal but there is a process of of rigorizing them yeah the currently haija marizi kukabisa but somehow inna marizi ka but it somehow throw yeah but straight itakuja to kwae rigo so he's inona mafotografas na video video video wani nyesano fanyam film but I don't want to come here too yeah because it happens because the client need it all right yeah and that's one thing yaku market our job yeah because the client's first thing wana kuja ku liza is do you have a drone yeah client anata katu kwa ona kitu kefraju and that is all minge teka wangile camera before tumali zekia before even have a look at the video I want you to talk to someone probably manya kwa na feel like man I have a passion for photography what word unesampia mene zampia mese a kona passion in photography that pole pole tu utafika but have passion passion drive the drive your your way na ukikuna passion in anything ita ku ita kuweza ku kupele kambele yeah be persistent pekiak yeah yeah so a kuna ii kuna ii vida video mafanya ya rusi nangali ya the cameras that you use and before even anata katu discuss you see the cameras that you have used kuna drone do ina anza all these transitions mene zi mikingi aje amande imi sewe na anakama na day amande ii nikazia editor no that's the editing time but before before we before we do the wedding we ask the client if a kona word anata kafa nyuka wedding what to be covered what not to be covered and what do you like your end product to be yeah trauma mambia like a script for us you have to do it what to cover and what not to cover hey sava sava leon imi sewa katu ingina it's not only ask journalists to do scripting even you as a client you need to do scripting also yeah peyona vajanga scripting via exactly because of the quotations and the like yeah so uh there are cameras that like now these one they wanna tuna to slow isha do evil yeah what are some of the cameras that tuna feel by the way for me this is my this is my this is my this is my this is my this is my this is my this is my this is my this is my this is my this is my this is probably even for a beginner metakwanza to venture into photography camera mustry wangai mustry me mustry don't look at the camera like the skill of that per side right yeah because wuki angaliya for me I started with that 2.0 camera but nil kuna patam tuakuna professional camera but kaziya kenayangu zikiya kopa moja ziezi pelekana okay yeah so it's not about the camera it's about the one who has the camera exactly so who is the slave to who all right that's so amazing so ducks kuna ii kushantuna ulaiza probably I don't I don't want to give ideas of the answers that you'll give but do you think social media me patia vijana opportunities abiz ama imewa haribu kapsa that one that one is a two way kuna watu imewa haribu na kuna watu imewa imewa patia abiz because social media ni viruna itumia if you take it positive itux idea but if you take it negativity ituku haribu so it depends with what you are posting or you are doing there yeah all right probably kwa I'm saying kaka kukuna anywhere social media IG ni ni aneza kupa tawa aje social media zanguni ducks photography yeah IG Facebook everywhere Twitter and ducks photography even Facebook is ducks photography yeah so that's makafungia kwa ducks photography yeah all right before we wind up kuna ii kwa shen na uli zanguna wa sevangi sana if by chance ni kuna proposal yeah nakfanya proposal then fanya rusi then from there to fanya suji ina ina tango winding up ina tango ni evening yeah evening dinner and party zote umkita kakuni kwa amam na fanya nga in general zote no that one will give you different packages all right yeah depending na weuna takawa api then your pocket ina fikawa api okay yeah if for your pocket ina ina kita for the just the wedding we do the wedding from preparation to end of reception na tunafungi hapo so for you then if you ifuna takawa kukua na evening party we give you a package of evening party ifuna tatu when they let well we do it all right so from from the way we begin kwa wedding all the way going to the evening it's a different package kura kasi bui hadi such time yeah but such a preparation the for the both groom and bride had the end of reception that's one package would you mind to give a just a quotation to say me like msa ma kuja kakwa kumbe from morning all the way to evening party yeah a rough estimation is kwa nikaha how much uh no na ma hit directly to ducks exactly akinim box apu evo kwa that's photography at any part nimechu apotaki konga about that mekajengi asana not really because client are different kila mtu akuna pocket different so how do you gauge how do you know umse I don't gauge I present my quotation the package you choose that's to bagen that's for you yeah so unukuna bagen inga apo kwa grao ah no kido goto maybe all right na dawa rim na fanyanga yeah so you do everything in terms of photography anything yeah we do yeah graduation we do finnos we do weddings corporates all those all right anything that deals with photography products shootings even for you for your posters and others photography you can come even to our studio yeah and you can
