Because a picture is infinite

With a background in journalism and a passion for writing, Kgomotso’s journey into photography began quite serendipitously.
Initially studying journalism, Kgomotso’s career path took an unexpected turn when she was introduced to photography by her fiancé, who gifted her a camera and a soft light. This thoughtful gesture ignited a new passion in Kgomotso, leading her to discover her talent behind the lens. Her first photoshoot took place in Wolmaranstad for a birthday party, followed by a wedding in Mpumalanga, marking the beginning of her photographic journey.

Her creative eye and dedication have earned her a loyal clientele and a reputation for capturing memorable moments with precision and artistry.
Kgomotso’s short-term goal is to establish a fully-equipped professional photography studio and provide her clients with an even higher quality of service. Her long-term aspirations include expanding her skills portfolio to encompass videography, podcasting, and writing articles for an online magazine. With her futuristic mindset, Kgomotso has already invested in a small drone, which she uses to capture stunning aerial shots at events, weddings, and marathons.
Despite the occasional setbacks, such as equipment malfunctions and electricity issues, Kgomotso remains undeterred. Her philosophy of “when you feel fear, do it anyway” drives her to overcome obstacles and continue pursuing her dreams. This resilience and determination have been key factors in her success.
Kgomotso is committed to staying current with the latest trends and techniques in the photography industry. She continuously educates herself through the “University of YouTube,” ensuring her work remains innovative and cutting-edge.
Kgomotso Kgamanyane is a testament to the power of passion, resilience, and forward-thinking.
As the owner of Creative KS, she has turned an unexpected career shift into a thriving business, capturing the essence of life’s most precious moments.
With her unwavering dedication and visionary mindset, Kgomotso is poised to make an even more significant impact in the small town of Khuma and the young minds who admire her talents from afar.
