about the photographer
My name is Namukulwa Nakazwe. I am a college graduate. I studied graphic design and marketing. I was introduced to photography during my junior year of college and immediately fell in love with it. I love portrait photography and how it allows you to connect with an individual person on a deeper level even if it is only for a short period of time.back to gallery
