Resourceful teenager capitalises on docu-photos

At such a young age Tembo has already worked on two documentary photography projects, Colourism: Shades of Africa, which focused on people of different races uniting released in 2016 and Man Up: A Boy’s Battle for Male Sensitivity, which focused on challenges that boys face when growing up into men, released this year.  “I believe that photography in general is a way of telling a story once someone has captured a picture. 

As for me I focus on social matters that take place in the community telling stories in different series of pictures that I package into a project,” Tembo said.  She stated that documentary photography is powerful as it can change the way a certain subject is perceived by the society.
