Mumbi Muturi

“I believe the journey of creativity is finding that which you have hidden, and hiding that which you have found, in your art.”

Meet Mumbi

Mumbi Muturi is a photographer and multidisciplinary creative living and working in Nairobi, Kenya. Initially inspired to pursue photography after taking a camping trip with a group of photographers in 2018, she found the heart of her art in the faces of the people she meets. Portraits are the heart and soul of her practice. As a hands-on creative director, she styles the clothing and the sets for most of her productions, which now include still photography and video shoots.

As an Artist Development Fund recipient, she is focused on creating stock imagery that accurately represents people and life in Kenya, and to share modern rural Kenyan life through her lens. Mumbi is a member of African Women Photographers, Black Women Photographers, and Diversify Photo Up Next photographers.
