Joe Lukhovi (Contemporary Photography)
Joe belongs to the young, spritely photographers Nairobi would love showcasing to the world. He has been working as a photographer for six years. “I chose to do contemporary photography and documentaries because it is a way of telling stories through pictures in a unique and interesting way,” says the lensman with a particular liking for silhouettes.
Joe belongs to the young, spritely photographers Nairobi would love showcasing to the world. He has been working as a photographer for six years. “I chose to do contemporary photography and documentaries because it is a way of telling stories through pictures in a unique and interesting way,” says the lensman with a particular liking for silhouettes.
“There’s this thing about silhouettes that comes out nicely
especially in the evenings or early mornings and that’s the technique I’ve
taken it through.” In 2011, he was in South Africa thanks to “Project Survival
Media” for his photography. Joe who prefers analogue lenses to automatic ones
for the feel of the images, is currently involved in “Photographs for Africa” a
project that aims to cast Africa in a positive light running across Uganda,
Tanzania, Ethiopia and Tanzania.
But Joe has come a long way and gone places and still has a long
way to go. “My work moves with the idea of liberty and expression,” he says.
Joe held his debut exhibition at Kuona Trust in July 2013. This month, he is
heading to Warsaw, Poland courtesy of the Thompson Reuters Foundation to
document events in support of environmental conservation.
