the short version. allegedly.

I am a writer, photographer and Story Lead based in Nairobi. There are easier ways to introduce a person. They are also less accurate.

I write essays, make portraits and documentary photographs, and design narrative and research work with Recentred Africa. Radio taught me timing. Strategy taught me to account for consequence. Photography taught me that the edge of the frame is an editorial decision. The work now talks to itself.

I write this man’s mind., run Stills by Marcus, and work as Story Lead at Recentred Africa.

If you are an editor, commissioner or collaborator, write to marcus@recentred.africa.
