Firstly, I want to say a very big thank you to Motive Africa for organizing such an impactful workshop on photography, it has been an amazing time at the Free Photography Workshop. In there I was allowed to learn what photography truly is aside taking picture with a camera. A class I won't forget in haste is the class we learnt about customer/client relationship. I also met and networked with new great minds, I learnt and achieved so much that I cannot pen down, I am proud to be a student of MAVA. God bless Motive Africa.

The free photography workshop was way beyond what I expected. Honestly, the lecturers, the jokes, the assignments and the love we all shared. Normally, I would have just attended for two weeks and dropped out, but it was really nice and I never wanted it to end.
