My name is Michael Ofurum @michaelofurum, I am a new Hiver, newbie to the @Hive community and the @Photography lovers community. I am a mobile photographer and I spend a lot of time thinking of photography concepts and ways I could tell stories using photography. My journey into Photography started some years back, taking pictures of kids, the Environment and commercial products.

I have come to develop more love for my art and subject as it draws me even closer to them.

My First Model

Meet Naza my first model. She's always ready and happy to take pictures.
I made some mistakes, tried different styles of editing while learning photography using some of her pictures.
I took the pictures with my phone and edited them with my phone which was both stressful and enjoyable at once.

Along the way, I met other kids and took more pictures, Naza was kinda jealous but I told her she will always be my first model and I will always take pictures of her and that brightened her a little bit.

Creating Memories With Kids

I love helping and creating loveable memories with these kids. Kids help you free your mind, they bring you joy with their playful, funny and nonchalant behavior. Some of these kids come from poor homes, I wish I can support them and their families and one way I plan on doing so is buy selling these pictures and sharing the profit with them. Lovely kids, each with different stories to tell.
I plan on creating and NFT Project based on their stories and the profit will go to them and their families.

STORIES THEY TELL

These kids have Hope
These kids to me represent The Longing in Every Human to Live. We all want to Live right? Whether you are poor, rich, sick or healthy, old or young, you still want to live.

These kids are Survivors and with a little support they will definitely Excel.
Let these Kids give you a reason to Love, Fight, Excel and Survive THANK YOU
