Nairobi, Kenya
My name is Donwilson Odongo, I'm an independent freelance photojournalist from Kibera Slums Nairobi. Currently, as a freelancer focusing on storytelling the human and societal norms, I document the social, cultural, political, and economic activities on the day to day life through photography.
I run and manage my website http://www.donwilsonodhiambo.com/ and a personal blog (donwilsonkibera.wordpress.com) which focuses on my art of photography storytelling. Also through my Instagram account https://www.instagram.com/donwilsonofficial/
With enough experience and knowledge in photography, I've always dreamt of being able to share my piece of art with the world outside my boundaries. My concept is to transform an image into a piece of art through my lens as the paintbrush.
Photography allows my individuality to be successfully asserted and has also been my way of learning how to approach people differently depending on their position, naivety, or power during my daily field works.
