My name is Ignatius Hambeza. I was born on 3rd January 1980 and I live in Mazabuka, southern province of Zambia. I did my secondary education at Monze Secondary School where I completed in the year 1999. During my school days, I developed so much interest in capturing pictures whenever we had a school tour. My school mates admired the photos I shot and in the process that encouragement later inspired me to start a business as Camera Man. To date that is my carrier job that helps me generate some money for my family, that's my two daughters one 7 years old and the other 11 years old and my beautiful wife.
Now the most unique thing about the land i live in, is the togetherness we show to one another despite the different tribes we come from as our country has over 73 tribes with 7 main languages.
When my children grow up they want to be lawyers. Though I would have loved to see them become doctors.
I really love to play volleyball in my spare time.
I am a Camera Man and I own a home studio where I process digital pictures to print photos. Most of the times in this business, I get hired to do video shooting, photographing and burner painting. Mainly this occurs during weekends on special events like end of year parties, weddings, kitchen parties and birthday parties to mention but a few. These products offered in this business are on demand because people will always want to keep and share memories about past events.
My typical costs in this business are electricity bills and stationary for the studio works. However, I do get some profits which I use to pay for our house rentals, school fees for my children and upkeep at home. Also at time I do channel some profits towards reinvesting in the business.
I will use the loan to buy buy a flush light for my studio. This is going to help me carry out video shooting during night functions when illumination is poor. Thus this will boost my business and be able to realise more profit of approximately 11 percent.
