Photographer: Emmanuel Muleya

I’m a portraiture photographer, I take pictures of people, capturing that moment that is gone forever. My name is Emmanuel Muleya, born on 3rd of June 1998. Born in Bulawayo, grew up in Hillbrow Johannesburg, South Africa. Primarily attended at Gauteng college until grade 7. Attended high school at Academy Business School from grade 8 until I completed matric level. In 2018 did my course in Business management 1 and currently doing my degree in Supply Chain Management at Regent Business School. My interest in media began when I was in primary, when I wanted to be a movie star especially action movie to an extent that I ended doing martial arts at the age of 9 until 17 years of age, until my childhood friend DK introduced me to Khomba Music Production working in hand in hand with Chris Light Films in 2016, by that time I was in Grade 10. Chris Light Films is a film company whereby it specialize in shooting music videos and films. That is where I met Christian Bofwa who is the CEO of CLF, I told him about my big interest in media and he took me in and he taught me everything about shooting films and images but I fell in love with taking images more than shooting videos. I enjoyed capturing the emotion of my subjects through my lens. The first camera I used was a Fujifilm x100 when we go shoot music most of the time I would shoot behind the scenes. My goal now is to show the beauty, grace, strength and enthusiasm of people of which I called it THE RICH REALITY OF STORIES shown through images. I focus on models and place regular in an exaggerated situations that highlight an aspect of who they are. I look for a sense of defiance and fortitude in my work. I’m based in Midrand but travel for projects around Southern Africa. As well as a assistant director at Chris Light Films in Joburg, I shoot a lot of portraits as well as behind the scenes images during music videos shoots, and others including celebrity portraits.
