Introduction
It started as a video journalist in Africa. With a camera and curiosity, I travelled across countries, producing reports and learning how to capture stories. Over time, my knowledge and network grew—far beyond what I could handle on a daily basis. Meanwhile, technology evolved: more cameras, smartphones, GoPros, Insta360, and AI tools. Innovation kept moving, and I moved with it.
Today, I work with articles, photography, radio, AI-rendered news visuals, and social formats. Tens of thousands of contacts and a network of production companies across Africa and worldwide make it possible to scale projects when needed. Much of the work I do myself, but when a project becomes too large or I’m focused on other productions, I can outsource for professional execution.
