Manzimvula Photography Photographer from Minneapolis, MN

As a photographer who is a Father, Husband, Friend, Cancer-Warrior, and Explorer, I'm passionate about people and life. I love capturing people's experiences in that instant the shutter closes, helping to create memories that invoke the thoughts and feelings around our most important memories. My unique experiences doing photo-documentary work, while volunteering and working in the developing world, have taught me to be able to see and capture empathy, joy, compassion and curiosity in diverse situations. I'm grateful for the moments I get to share with my clients at events in both their professional and personal lives, around the globe. I love capturing people's experiences in that instant the shutter closes, helping to create memories that invoke the thoughts and feelings around our most important memories. As a Cancer-Warrior, I've learned so much about the beauty of life and I'm living my life fully and I am now cancer free. I am humbled and grateful for the entire experience and for the love, kindness and help I received, when I needed it most. By facing my own mortality, I have learned more about life, and grown more, through my journey than at any time in my life. I've learned I have no regrets and appreciate living in the present and sharing my enthusiasm and passion for life with all the people in and around my life. I've learned that it is okay to be helped and that we each need help for our own unique reasons. It makes for much more significant collaboration and success in all we do. We all need help, love and kindness and that all of these should be reciprocated in every aspect of our lives. It makes us brighter, easier to be around, and conscious to appreciate every moment we experience. I've learned to be kind, to myself and I bring this passion to my work as a photographer and the work I do living my life.
