Introduceyourself

Helllo Steemians!!!

My Name is Alfred "Freddy B" Mahlangu A 22 year old South African Sony Award Winning Photographer and 30 South Eyewear Acclaimed Photography Ambassador, from a small Township called Tsakane in The Far East of Johannesburg, South Africa. Nicknamed "Mashona" The Last Town.

Living In My Family House with my amazing Grandmother and my 5 other cousins from hand to mouth ,while trying to grow my career on daily activities with freelance gigs, from events to product photography & content creation. I'm Lover of pets, plants and an Intense Music follower especially jazz influenced, and Gourmet Food is my everything!!!😁

I found this plaform through a friend called Matt on the Brink, about 2 years ago and I immediately got interested , with little knowledge of cryptocurrencies. I feel like this the right time to explore this exceptional platform and learn more!

I've Studied Digital Marketing, Photography & Visual Communication at a tertiary Level and freelanced in media & fashion as a creative & photographer with a few novice brands both local and international.

YOU ARE AN ARTIST. YOU ARE A CANVAS, @ohmybra4u Collaborative Campaign , Ashanti Lingerie Shoot, Models; (above) Musa Myeni, (bottom) Shanique Vuyelwa . Where I use ordinary women from community and making them the "Queens" they aspire to be.

Having the opportunity to shoot & direct a few commercial photo shoots, has really lifted my work confidence. "I see more of myself as a producer of beautiful, meaningful and informing aesthetics than just a Photographer"

In February 2019 , I received a 1st Place National Award from Sony World Photography Awards 2019.
In April 2018 , I was awarded as a Top 5 Finalist in people/portrait photography on Photocrowd and also Culture Leader Arts Portrait Competition 2018 Top 11 finalist.

In my personal work, I am influenced by Culture, Fashion & Socio environmental photographs, telling stories from behind & infront of the lens through engaging conceptualized photographs.

My work strives to address the importance of belonging and being free in a space, with the ability to create, break boundaries and influence my peers to dreams along with South Africa & The World.

I am looking forward to make new friends and help grow my network here. Will be sharing more of work very soon. Please help share, because I'd love influence the world and help uplift My Family/Home and the spirits of my fellow brothers and sisters in the Community!!!😁😎☺
