“Photography is not about going to a scene and you put your digital camera on auto mode and start taking snapshots. It is deeper than that as you need to set your camera to get the perfect light and also know how to focus on your object or model,” said the enthusiastic young photographer, Shonisani Ace Mukhadi, who is known for his photographic brand, BLVCK pictures.
Ace is 21 years old and hails from Tshavhalovhedzi Sendedza in the Nzhelele valley.
Ace said his photography journey started in 2017 when his older brother bought a digital camera. “I was inspired by my brother, who taught me how to take good pictures and how to set camera functions. So far, I have already taken lots of pictures during different occasions such as parties, weddings, family gatherings, church events and photoshoots. I am receiving positive feedback from the community.”
He added that photography had grown in him from just being a hobby to having a passion for it. “I capture every photo with the aim of telling a story without using words.”
Ace added that in photography you must always have space for growth and learning new things.
“In future, as BLVCK pictures, we will be providing high-quality pictures and music videos and movies. We also plan to grow the business and enter the national market; we are also planning to start shooting a movie.”
Besides being a photographer, Ace is also a university student currently studying for a bachelor of language practice at the University of Venda. He also does online marketing for different local businesses.
