Photographer Shitanda / @_shitanda_ / is the first member of the Thursday's Child community from Nairobi, Kenya, a city with its own challenges but a set of values shared by creative communities around the world. ⁠ ⁠ "Regardless of the constraints faced in the creative scene here, people will always find a⁠ means to build up on their craft and expand their practice with the available⁠ resources, however limited they may be.⁠"⁠ ⁠ "Art has always been a part of me for long as I can remember. Photography, being one of⁠ the mediums I explored, presented the opportunity to bring people into my imaginative world⁠ and to fuse it with reality as a means of expression. So, when I got the chance, I acquired a⁠ camera and started the journey.⁠"⁠ ⁠ "I was particularly drawn to photography because it allowed me to visually translate and⁠ express my thoughts and perceptions of life, while still reflecting past and current times and⁠ their influence on future experiences and emotions."⁠ ⁠ "This being a medium that I could also explore collaboratively with other creatives such as my⁠ muses, models, other artists and designers, captivated me because it gave me the chance to⁠ experience different perspectives, expressions and approaches to art.⁠"⁠ ⁠ Today we welcome Shitanda to Thursday's Child, the global platform showcasing amazing, unrepresented image makers from around the world.⁠ ⁠ Follow us here for updates, or visit our platform to view all our artists or join our community.⁠ ⁠ #nairobi #kenya #photographer #newtalent #emergingtalent #experimentalphotography #emergingphotographer #newphotographytalent #thursdayschildglobal #nextgenerationimagemakers
