Fast forward to today, the dynamic duo that is Mr. and Mrs. Henry Oliver Hakulandaba has plans of launching African Photo Workshops before the end of this year to teach more Africans how to be visuals story tellers in their own right. The Award-winning Henry Oliver Hakulandaba will be taking over the #ENTHUSEgram this week, here he is in his own words.
“I grew up in a family were almost all my family members had a camera and I vividly remember being taught how to use a Film camera…I was catapulted into the profession by my uncle and brothers who fueled the passion. I never thought I would do photography full time as I am a qualified environmental and health scientist but since 2009 I haven’t stopped.
I am more passionate about Documentary Photography, Concept Creation and Teaching. My Wife and I have been busy working on Photography Workshops for beginners and serious amateurs (hobbyists) so that more people are educated on the power of visuals in our everyday lives. Tired of foreigners telling our stories as a continent, we said “why not our stories?” So our experiences as Visual Storytellers will help change the perspective we have for our own continent and how Foreigners think of our own lives and continent.”
