muki OB

My name is Muki, I’m from Kenya, Africa. I was born in Degahle, a very small town. I was nine years old when I moved to the United States. We moved to Pittsburgh to be with the family.

 

I became interested in photography in 2021 after my own photo shoot. I was curious and asked a lot of questions about photography. I love trying new things. I already had a camera because I love tubes. I started taking pictures of my brothers.

 

This passion grew and I realized that it could improve more and more, so I kept photographing. I love photographing people. People are very interesting with the photographs. I love the social aspect of taking photos. I like to ask them questions and find out more about them. Knowing them helps me to know who they are in these photos. I love creating portraits that have bright colors, patterns and textures.

 

My favorite place to do a photo shoot is the city center, because it is beautiful with lights and movement.
