Day 3/28 — #FounderLedContent by @victoria__mg Do you or your loved ones suffer from poor quality content? 😭 I did. For years my photos and videos looked like they were shot on a cracked Android camera smeared in Vaseline. Then I built Create With Ayan. Now the content looks polished, strategic, and actually helps brands make money. From scripting → shooting → editing, we turn your ideas into content that works so you can focus on what really matters… Making the big bands. And yes, before you ask… I am in fact the Ayan. #FounderLedContent #CreateWithAyan #KenyanCreators #ContentCreationKenya BrandContent CreativeEntrepreneur VideographerKenya ContentStrategy

Good content doesn’t just show a face 🎞️ it shows the story behind it Shot four chefs across @kwetu_nairobi — kitchen, lounge, restaurant floor, every space that made sense. Full body to portrait, candid to posed. Every frame had a reason. This is what it looks like when a shoot actually has a process behind it.

Five years later and my very first client is still calling. That means something Today @wabosha_maxine and I were back together, this time covering the Canon Masterclass, brought together by @canon.africa . I shot the whole thing on the Canon R6 Mark II with a 24 to 70, one lens, full event, no switching. When I cover an event these are the shots I never leave without: 📋 Registration, the energy before it starts 🎨 Setup and branding, that is the client’s investment on display 🎤 The speaker in full flow 👥 The audience and their reactions ✨ The interactions, the laughs, the in-between moments Get all five of those and you have a complete story. Miss one and the edit will feel it. #eventcoverage #canonkenya #videography #eventphotography #nairobi​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

And sometimes I still do. Please don’t mention it, it’s a sensitive topic 🥺

Most people only ever see the finished piece. Nobody sees where it actually begins. Today we were inside @tirastudio workshop, where everything they sell gets built from scratch. Dust, raw materials, clutter and all. The challenge of shooting a space like this is making the process look as compelling as the product. Because if your brand only shows the end result, you are leaving out the part of the story that actually builds trust. The craft. The detail. The work behind the work. #furnituredesign #brandphotography #behindthescenes #contentcreation #nairobi​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Behind the lens for @joannakcosmetics 🎬 In beauty, your content IS your first impression. Before a customer touches the product, they’ve already decided based on how it looks. 👁️ That’s why the brands winning online aren’t just good products — they’re visual stories. 🤍 Comment packages to get started #beautybrand #beautycontentcreator #cosmeticsphotography #beautybranding #beautybusiness

When was the last time someone asked you for a professional photo and you had nothing to send? A poster. A website. A newspaper feature. A speaking opportunity. These moments come when you least expect them, and most people are scrambling through old selfies when they do. 📋 Your portfolio needs to work for you in rooms you’re not in 📸 Professional photos are not vanity, they are infrastructure 🍽️ On set today with the chefs at Kwetu, building exactly that kind of asset Take five minutes this week and audit what you have. If you cannot confidently send a high quality image when an opportunity calls, that is the gap to fill. #personalbrand #professionalphotography #brandphotography #corporatephotography #nairobi​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Six years of shooting with a gimbal taught me this one thing: your body is your best stabilizer. Most people hold the gimbal with their arms all day and wonder why they’re exhausted by hour three. The fix is simpler than you think. 👉 Find where your hip meets your torso, right at the pelvic bone ⚖️ Rest the bottom leg of your gimbal there 🔄 Use it as a pivot point for forward, backward, and orbit moves Your hips carry load far better than your arms. This position gives you stability without the fatigue, and it doubles as a resting point between shots. Try it at your next event and tell me what you notice. #gimbaltips #videographytips #eventvideography #filmmaking #contentcreator​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
