My name is Naomi. I live in Eldoret Kenya. I have a passion for photography. I come from a family of 6 kids and being the first born of the family, i have always had to find ways to earn some income to support my self and help my siblings.
My passion for photography started after high school when i took my father's analogue camera and started taking photos door to door for money. I managed to earn some income but then i joined the university and therefore stopped for awhile. The passion in me did not die so i went on and found a job in an organization that dealt with video shooting, editing and photography. I not only gained skills experience but i also managed to save some money to buy myself a camera.
Mid last year, i quit my job to start my photography business. I now have a small studio in town and i have managed to create a client base and create a name in the photography industry.
My business offers the following services, wedding photography, Events, family shoots,model shoots and portraits. Eldoret town is just opening up to the idea of using professional photographers to create beautiful memories of special days and loved ones. This is a great opportunity for my business to meet the demand and grow. I offer creative and professional photos to my customers and i have managed to gain the trust of the clients i have worked with before to appoint of getting referral jobs from them.
However, my major challenge is equipment. Photography gear is very expensive and i need to buy more equipment for my studio and for my outdoor jobs to be able to meet the level of professionalism expected from me. It will also help me venture into the corporate world which require proper get tenders from them.
With the loan i get from Zidisha, I plan to buy professional lighting gear for my studio, an extra camera for big jobs and accessories from my camera such as lenses. I will highly appreciate the loan to be able to boost my business.
This is my first time to apply for the loan and though my loan limit is not enough to purchase the items i need for my business, it will still enable me to purchase one item. I always hire a white background to use for my studio shoots and i have always wanted to own one. With the money from the loan, i can be able to buy myself one and save the money i use to hire for something else.
