There is no denying the growth of photography in Kenya. Brilliant minds are showcasing different ares of our country through photography and selling it for the beauty that it is.  Photographers are telling the Kenyan story and they’re telling it well. We can sit in our offices and admire our landscape, our people, our streets and so much more.

This years awards are very timely in the light of rising harassment of street photographers. I hope and believe that through initiatives such as this, photographers will be recognized well enough, and Government will wake up to the fact that photography is not a crime.
