Nyayo Monument Photographers
The Nyayo Monument Photographers take portraits of people in the Central Park. There are approximately ten photographers that use this area as their studio, some have been working here for over twenty years. Clients collect their photos a few days after they are taken, although sometimes the photos are never picked up. These photos are stored in the tin trunks that all photographers have, often being used as samples. The photographers also work with montage techniques as can be seen by the poster and flyer for this exhibition (both photos by Samson).
Samson (George Ndirango), Jackson Wamai, Charles Ndiritu, Ronnie Keya, Wallace Anyiga and Jackson Kilonzo, six of the photographers who work at the Monument, can be seen in the montage above (Sam Hopkins)
