10 years ago, Mwangi Kirubi made the bold decision to quit his day job and focus on making his passion for photography work for him. Along the way, he discovered the power of his craft and made it his mission to alter the negatively held global perceptions about Africa. Mwangi’s body of work has told stories that have helped shift mindsets, inform audiences and break new ground in the world of photography.

The 42 -year- old father of 2 has been commissioned by various NGOs to document a multitude of development projects across Kenya including the healthcare sector, education, nature conservation and agriculture. And to celebrate the Alliance for Green Revolution in Africa’s (AGRA) 10th anniversary, Mwangi was one of the photographers selected by the Rockefeller Foundation and Arete Stories to document successes in agriculture in Burkina Faso, Mozambique, Tanzania and Kenya; the images captured were showcased in a 3 week long photo exhibition at the Nairobi National Museum.

As a member of African arts collectives One Touch, Mwangi traverses the continent, capturing images that showcase the beauty of Africa and the warmth of its people.

The photographer, known by many as Mwarv, shares his journey and outlook on life with Damaris Agweyu.
