Hiuhu Murimi Photographer & Creative Director

I am Hiuhu Murimi — a Kenyan photographer, art director, and visual storyteller with over a decade and a half of professional practice spanning commercial, architecural, potraiture, conceptual and fine-art photography. My work is deeply influenced by my background as a comic artist and graphic designer. In comics, you control everything — the lighting, the composition, the costume, the mood, the story. That total creative ownership shaped how I approach photography. Rather than delegating to a large team, I prefer to art-direct, style, and craft each image myself, ensuring the final result is exactly what I envisioned

Self-taught and self-funded, I built my photography practice from the ground up — no formal training, no agency backing, just a relentless drive to create. What followed surprised me. I had pioneered creative digital photography from my predecessors who shot on analogue films and no computer to edit hence hmurimi became the go-to studio in Eastlands and Nairobi for musicians, politicians, and anyone who wanted professional portrait work — the kind that, at the time, only big advertising agencies produced

Currently Hmurimi recides in a farm few minutes from the city and considers himself a city-smart-country-rat practising both hands on farming and cutting edge Creative digital endavours

Beyond the camera, I provide full creative direction — from mood-boarding and location scouting to post-production and final delivery. Whether you are a global brand seeking striking campaign imagery, a couple documenting the most important day of your lives, or an artist in need of a portfolio that truly represents you, I bring the same level of care and craft to every brief.
