Had a fabulous time shooting Hip-Hop Artists in Kampala, Uganda in 2005.
Such energy and synergy - unfortunately time spent together was too short

So often I am blessed to shoot Artists' of different genre's.

B-Boy here, kindly held this pose and held still this extremely difficult position for me while I got this unique portrait shot. Note the direction/position of his hands and feet....

WOW!

Thank you homeboy, please get in touch with Mandingo.

Shot in Johannesburg, South Africa, 2006

I shoot ...

Because he has blessed me

Because my art and photography work pleases

Because I love people and bring out the character (s) in them
Because photographs are documentary and serve as a permanent reminder

&

Because the next generation needs to see the beauty and depth

of African Kings & Queens
