Louis

In-house Photography & Videographer

I am a photographer born and based in Rwanda. I love capturing images that convey an emotional message. When I photograph people, I capture not only their image but their very essence. My whole life basically revolves around photography because I am always capturing life around me either with a professional camera or a phone, but other than that I love watching sci-fi movies and documentaries, swimming, and listening to music.
