Mpayang tells his story through photography

Mpayang has  always wanted to showcase his life growing up and fine art in the form of photography gave him the opportunity. In an interview with Arts & Culture, Mpayang said he wanted to share the norms and traditions he was exposed to while growing up.

He explained that he specializes in photography because he loved creating stories with his pictures. “My family, friends and supporters inspire my work. What I love the most is getting feedback from my supporters who always encourage me to keep going and doing what I love. Many have applauded me for the good work. I am a self-taught photographer. I never trained for it and thus I believe I possess a God given talent,” he said. Furthermore, he stated that one of his favourite pieces of all time is a picture that won him a prize during the President’s Day Art Exhibition in 2018 at regional level.
