How did you get involved in NFT and how have you been affected?
Specifically, I heard about NFT from a friend around October 2021 last year. It sounded like a scam at first, but after seeing a post in our group by a friend named teaserat who is also a big part of his NFT artist community in Africa, I did my own research and found myself decided to dive into NFT.
So far, NFTs have had a huge impact on my life, both good and bad, but even more so for the better. Created his first NFT art around February 2022.

When did you start taking pictures?
I started my photography journey as a photographer (I used my mobile phone). Back then, all we had was the best gadget, a mobile device. Seven years ago, when he discovered his passion for photography, he decided to make it more than just a hobby or passion.

Who are the photographers who have influenced you the most? Is there anyone you look up to?
I have so many mentors in the photography industry, but I have to say it’s the environment and the culture that inspire me.

One thing I wish I knew when I started taking photos.
I didn’t need the most sophisticated or expensive equipment to take pictures.
