When I started my business I never thought it could get this far, it’d exciting to see the progress that I see. Again it’s qiet scary sometimes, not knowing what’s coming next, but Doc Mabila has contributed much into my business skills in terms of keeping focus and choosing the right people to work with. Since starting to capture Youthzones events and after getting a Mac Pc to assist me in Editing Youth Zone projects, my work has improved a lot further. Sometimes there are people seated out there with great skills within them, people who are hungry to achieve their potential but limited by resources. i was like one of them but I never gave up, I remember editing videos with a very slow laptop which made me spend long hours and continuous sleepless nights editing. My social life became so limited that much of my time was spent on editing to make sure that I deliver on time, delivering on time is one of my principles so you can imagine the frustration of wanting to rest a bit and wanting to work a bit more while the laptop acts up and fails to push large video files. I eventually bought a second hand laptop which wasn’t that fast, it was quiet better and it helped me have some time with family as compared to the latter. Three months down the line the laptop which was like healing to me got stolen in a taxi when I came back tired from a freelance Tv Job in Joburg. I had to get back to the struggle but I kept on capturing beautiful images and videos, borrowing laptops from friends and family…having to return them at some due dates given. My long stranious walk was rescued when I got to Youthzones, that’s when Doc Mabila and Schalk Van Heerden provided a Mac PC For the Youthzones Video Edits and Event Photography. Today my work is growing faster, this first week of June 2017 I found myself shooting with one of The Best Black Wedding Photographers in South Africa. He saw my work and called me to come and be his assistant photographer at a wedding. Today I have created employment for myself and others, I am training others in the field while others are keen to be mentored by me for growth in the Film & Photography business. I am fast becoming a great professional and quiet confident about it. Youthzones has added this confidence and I am really grateful for the opportunity to form part of this great movement.
Below are some samples of the work I have done with the Mac PC and an image of me and the PC. My work has went to the next level of success, this is my success story
