So, let’s check it out and find out more about what it’s like to be a photographer in NFTs!

How did you get into NFTs and how has it impacted you?

I heard about NFTs from a friend around October last year 2021 to be specific and at first it sounded like a scam to me but after I saw a post of our group by a friend named teaserat who’s also a big part of the African NFT artist community, I decided to do my own research and dive into NFTs on my own.

So far NFTs have had a huge impact on my life both good and bad but more good. I minted my first NFT art around February 2022.

When did you start your photography journey and how did you get good at it?

I started my photography journey as a Phonographer (I used my mobile phone). Back then all we had were our mobile devices which was our best gadget and I’m talking 7 years back, when I realized I had a passion for photography I decided to make it more than just a hobby or passion.
