Thaakira Lukie

Junior Photographer
CAPE TOWN

Summary

My experience and studies to date has made me realize that even though I failed my academic course, along with financial constraints, does not end my ability to continue pursuing a career in photography. A career which I find resonates with who I am and one I want to continue growing into. Hard work and gaining first hand experience is life's greatest teacher.


I am therefore open to learning, gaining experience and growing if afforded the opportunity.
