How to Start a Photography Business in Kenya (And Actually Make Money)
Photography in Kenya has grown beyond just a hobby. From weddings and events to product shoots for small businesses, there’s a constant demand for skilled photographers.
If you’re thinking of turning your passion into a business, here are the key steps to set yourself up for success so that you become the best photographer in Kenya.
Start with a business plan
Like any other business, photography needs structure. Write down the services you plan to offer, study your competition, and do some basic market research.
Your plan should also include financial projections, the kind of clients you want to target, and a clear strategy for growth.
This document becomes your roadmap, especially in the early days when everything feels overwhelming.
Invest in the right equipment
Your gear will be your biggest investment. The type of camera, lenses, and accessories you buy will depend on your niche.
A wedding photographer, for instance, needs very different tools compared to a product photographer.
Do thorough research before spending money, and remember you’ll also need a reliable computer and editing software. Quality gear pays for itself over time.
Build your photography skills
Owning a camera doesn’t automatically make you a photographer. To stand out, sharpen your technical and creative skills.
Learn the basics: how your camera works, how to use lighting effectively, and how to edit photos.
Equally important, practice posing people and directing clients with confidence while staying friendly and professional. The more you practice, the more your work will speak for itself.
Identify your target clients
Not everyone will be your client. Early on, figure out who you want to serve. Is it couples getting married, brands needing product photos, or corporates that need professional headshots?
Understanding your target market helps you create content that speaks directly to them, build trust, and eventually turn conversations into paying jobs.
Choose a niche and specialize
Trying to do everything at once can slow you down. Specializing in one or two photography genres makes marketing easier and attracts clients who are willing to pay more for expertise.
Popular niches in Kenya include wedding photography, corporate shoots, events, fashion, product, and documentary photography. Pick one that excites you and build your reputation around it.
Create a portfolio
Your portfolio is your calling card. In the beginning, when paying clients are hard to find, offer free or discounted shoots for friends and family.
Use this work to build a collection of your best shots. A strong portfolio makes it much easier to convince potential clients to hire you.
Find a mentor
One of the fastest ways to grow in the photography business is to learn from someone already doing it.
If possible, connect with an established local photographer who can let you shadow them, critique your work, and share practical advice about the business side of things. Mentorship can save you years of trial and error.
Register your business
Professionalism is key if you want people to take you seriously. Register your business as a sole proprietorship or limited company, depending on your long-term goals.
Create a simple website to showcase your work and open social media pages dedicated to your photography brand.
Clients are more likely to trust a registered business than an individual operating casually.
Extra tips to stand out
- Always have a written contract before starting any job.
- Build your presence on Instagram and Facebook, since these platforms drive a lot of photography bookings in Kenya.
- Create an email domain that matches your website for professionalism.
- Keep a gear checklist before every shoot to avoid surprises.
- Be punctual. In photography, time is everything.
Final thoughts
Running a photography business is more than just taking pictures. In fact, you’ll spend close to half your time (sometimes more) on marketing, networking, sales, and managing client relationships.
Success comes from treating photography as a full business, not just a craft. If you stay consistent, patient, and focused on your goals, you’ll build a brand that not only pays the bills but also leaves a lasting mark in Kenya’s growing creative industry.

Did Envy Spark the Rift? The Real Reason Behind Diamond Platnumz and Mbosso’s Explosive Feud
Life is so unpredictable, I never thought there would come a time I will be writing about Diamond Platnumz and Mbosso beefing. Who would have thought?
Now, what started as whispers of tension between Diamond Platnumz and Mbosso, has turned out into a public fallout, a beef that could be getting worse by day.
According to Mbosso, the conflict began when Diamond allowed Baba Levo to criticize him. Diamond, however, distanced himself from the matter, insisting that Baba Levo is an adult and that his statements cannot be attributed to him.
List and Information on All the Women Diamond Platnumz has Dated
The Claim That Lit the Fire
The feud kicked off when Mbosso reportedly suggested that Diamond was envious of his success. Diamond, never one to bite his tongue, hit back hard on Instagram Stories.
He dismissed the idea outright, questioning what he would stand to gain from being jealous of an artist he once mentored.
“In your statements, you are forcing me to be involved, claiming that we are envying you. What would I envy you for anyway? And how would that help me?” Diamond fired back.
To make his point sharper, he even downplayed the impact of Mbosso’s latest hit, comparing it to other tracks that had made bigger waves.
The ‘Pawa’ Controversy
Things escalated when Diamond’s ally, Baba Levo, dropped a video showing Diamond guiding Mbosso through the melody of his now-famous hit Pawa. Diamond himself then revealed the extent of his behind-the-scenes contributions—not just to Pawa, but to much of Mbosso’s catalog.
According to Diamond, he had a heavy hand in writing and arranging Mbosso’s biggest songs, including Hodari, Baikoko, Shetani, and Assalaam. In his words:
“Approximately 90% of all your songs—if there is a song that I wrote a small part of, maybe 20%, but for most, I wrote 40%, 50%, even up to 90%.”
His revelation cast Mbosso’s success in a new light, making fans question just how much of it was his own creation.
The Money Diamond Walked Away From
Adding another layer of drama, Diamond disclosed that Mbosso’s exit from WCB Wasafi wasn’t free—at least on paper. The label contract reportedly had a Tsh 323,250,000 buyout clause.
But Diamond says he let Mbosso walk away without paying a cent, framing it as an act of generosity to help his former signee stand on his own feet.
A Stern Warning
In closing, Diamond made it clear that while he doesn’t demand recognition for his contributions, he won’t tolerate disrespect. He portrayed himself as a man of patience and wisdom but also warned that his silence shouldn’t be mistaken for weakness.
“I am truly crazy, and I don’t take nonsense,” he wrote, reminding everyone of his long-standing reputation in the industry.

Crazy Kennar: All You Need to Know
Born Kennedy Odhiambo. Became Crazy Kennar.
Kennedy Odhiambo grew up in Baba Dogo, Nairobi. Born on December 23, 1998, he’s Luo, the middle child with siblings who supported him early on.
He went to Sacred Heart Primary in Baba Dogo, then Ringa Boys in Homa Bay for high school where his drama teacher introduced him to writing and performance.
He won Best Actor at the 2011 Kenya National Music and Drama Festivals while still very young thus proving he had the gift early on.
He later joined JKUAT, pursuing Actuarial Science but quietly building a team to film sketches. That turned into Tales of the Crazy Kennar, his YouTube channel.
Between Terrence Creative and Eric Omondi, Who’s Really The President Of Comedy?
Skits That Scored Millions
Kennar first posted short skits from around 2017. Eventually, he recruited friends to act in his videos. Today, he has over 600K subs on YouTube, racking 180+ million views monthly. His TikTok has over 500K followers and 6 million+ likes.
He works with brands like Airtel, Tusker, and DSTV. He also owns Instant Delicacies, a small eatery along Thika Road.
From Ringa High to Stand-Up
Kennar tried teaching in Lucky Summer after high school, earning a few shillings off the road—just to get by. Entertaining had been his love since childhood. By the time he joined JKUAT, performing and writing sketches took over.
He credits his drama club and teachers for pushing him toward comedy. Soon, he built a loyal following based on familiar, laugh-out-loud Kenyan anecdotes.
Comedy That Feels Like Home
Crazy Kennar’s comedy works because it’s relatable. He leans into Kenyan reality—accented characters, everyday settings—without needing filters or fancy effects. Redditors say his skits filmed in tiny bedsitters hit hard with authentic Kenyan vibes.
As one user noted:
“Who remembers the bangers of Krazy Kennar, the ones they used to shoot kwa ile ka bedsitter with only one sufuria?”
Others chimed in:
“Crazy Kennar’s skits are really good.”
And:
“CRAZY KENNAR WILL FOREVER MAKE ME HAPPY FR.”
He’s not knocking over Hollywood‑style production. He’s backed into the corners of Kenyan streets, turned them into character sketches, and made people laugh without losing themselves.
Stage Shows & Live Sketches
Kennar’s online success opened doors for live shows. A Redditor reported:
His show was sold out, and he did well—live shows bring in real money since online ad revenue and TikTok payouts are unreliable.
That live connection—the energy in the room, the timing—you can’t replicate it on screen. It’s why he’s expanding beyond just YouTube.
Mammito Spills the Tea on Motherhood, Love, and Her New Comedy Show”
Money Moves

He’s in his late 20s, in a long-term relationship, and expanding his content team. His brand Tales of the Crazy Kennar is evolving—more skits, more actors, live shows, and wider presence.
Why People Actually Watch Him
What makes Kennar stand out? He doesn’t chase what’s trending. He nails what viewers know—accent parodies, village stereotypes, office jokes—without cynicism. People see yourself in his characters.
Redditors say Kenyan comedy thrives on familiar tropes:
“Crazy Kennar switches his skits, he doesn’t always lean towards the typical stereotypes… it’s mostly satirical.”
He stays consistent—not changing who he is, just leveling up his delivery.
Final Thoughts
Crazy Kennar’s not the flashy celebrity comedian who moves fast and forgets stories. He’s the everyday guy turned content creator who worked gradually, kept it simple, and blew up doing what Kenyans giggle about at home.
- From Sacred Heart and Ringa High to JKUAT’s Actuarial Science classroom.
- From 2017 skits filmed in a bedsitter to corporate brand deals + own eatery.
- Viewing numbers in the millions, live shows sold out, awards lined up.
If you want to know who’s shaping Kenyan online culture from the ground up, Crazy Kennar is one to watch—and one to laugh with.

Which Age Gap Is Too Big For a Relationship to Work?
I’m sure you’ve heard of the phrase “Age is just but a number.” I beg to differ though some might curse me for this.
This is not to say that when the age gap is too big, two people cannot settle for a beautiful relationship.
At first, it might seem okay but as time goes, you’ll realize that there are drastic changes in your lifestyles and this is when the glow in your relationship will start dimming.
It will be ugly, trust me. It is even worse when you are an extrovert, I can spare introverts on this.
For extroverts, you might still have warm blood for travelling and going out most of the time but your partner will not. It will be ugly, I repeat.
According Seth Meyers, Ph.D., a psychologist and the author of Overcome Relationship Repetition Syndrome and Find the Love You Deserve, age difference matters. Meyers says that an age gap bigger than ten years often has certain issues which are different keeping in mind that all relationships have issues.
In regard to big age differences, Rachel Sussman, a profound licensed marriage and family therapist based in New York once stated “You can see varied cultural references, disapproval from family and friends, and perhaps community disapproval, as well,”
She added,
“It might be hard to relate to each other’s peer groups too.”
Therefore, when you want to date someone older by more than 10 years, ensure that you know exactly what you want from them. Also, keep in mind that changes are inevitable and you are prepared to handle them.

The Shocking Trending Story of Shiko and Rama Delivering by Themselves
Unassisted child birth is not a common thing and yesterday the internet was on fire with the story of Shiko and Rama trending. Imagine this couple decided to undergo the child birth process by themselves at the comfort of their home without assistance from a medical birth attendant (midwife).
On that day, which is six days ago, the young couple did not know that Shiko was going to deliver on this particular day. Therefore, they went on their usual routine and at around 1PM, Shiko drove to the market to purchase some groceries.
While still in the market, she realized that the contractions were unusual since they were getting intense and consistent and so she called her midwife to inform her of the situation.
“I had been having Prodromal contractions for a while, at 1.30PM I called my midwife and told her you know what I think this might be the real thing because they have been pretty consistent. I had timed them on a contraction App and they were coming once every three minutes. After timing around 4 of them the App just stopped and said call an ambulance, go to the hospital”
However, the midwife was not around and that meant that she was not able to come immediately.
Prodromal labor
This is a type of labor that comes before active labor but does not progress towards delivery. It’s also irregular with contractions lasting for around 30-45 seconds giving the expectant mother around 5-30 minutes of rest in between contracts. Usually, they last for a period of around 8-12 hours.
Hurriedly, she drove back home to her loving husband Ramsey and told him that the surges were becoming intense and since the midwife was out of reach, they will have to undergo the process.
All these things are being shown in their 24 minute video. When the App informed her that things were serious, on reaching home she reported the info to the husband but since the surges had been happening for quite a while, the husband was confused whether the day had arrived or it was just the usual surges.
Shiko Nguru, a 34 year old mum of 3 now; 8 year old girl, 2 year old boy and newly born bouncing baby boy posted on her Vlog the entire experience from the time she started experiencing surges, actual labor and the delivery moment.
What is flabbergasting is the fact that they made it look so easy having taken only 44 minutes for the baby to come out.

The birth process
The actual video of the birth process starts at 2.01 PM. During this time, the labor started and Shiko requested the husband to do some intense back massage. Ramsey continued to do the massage for a couple of minutes.
“He continued giving me those back massages and continued telling him to put pressure even I now have bruises on my back side”
“She insisted I use a lot of pressure, I massaged her with my fists”
At the time, the contractions were intense and were coming like every two minutes. “The pressure was need to counter the pressure I was feeling inside” Shiko explained.
“During her surges, I had to drop everything that I was doing just to ensure that I rel ieve the pain she was feeling”
She wanted to give birth in a pool and so they had discussed with their midwife who booked the pool for them earlier in the week.
So when she started experiencing labor, Ramsey started filling the pool.
At some point, Shiko wanted so much to get into the water and so she told rama
“Why don’t you go to our laundry room and get the water horseso that we can fill the pool faster.”
When Rama dashed to get the horse pipe, the unexpected happened, the contractions became more intense with an urge to push.
“Immediately he left the bathroom, the next surge I had was different from all the other surges because it came with this incredible pressure to push.”
It was now around 2.25pm, shiko did not think that the time for pushing had arrived since she had only been experiencing labor for an hour only. This shocked her and so she curled over.
Rama came in and dropped everything seeing the wife in a bad state. He then poured one more bucket and shiko got into the pool. It was 2.30PM.
Rama wanted to call the midwife again but shiko refused saying they will have to do the delivery by themselves. She then held her hand, comforting and encouraging her as she pushed.
That’s how Tawi was born; at 2.45PM.
Thank you for reading.
