all right simple my name is Edgar a
Murphy don’t like when people sounded
that way so it is not like the murphy
don’t know it’s Amalfi don’t that’s how
it sounded um I’m a photographer or
photographer maybe okay I started off as
informally trained you know the way you
learn graphics and it’s not formal about
it did you see anything you just hit by
someone who knows a little and then you
just copy nothing
did the review of a web design as well
that same period printed oh well for a
while but all the while I I just get
keep drawn to aesthetics visual scholars
lines and ships and I don’t know I just
couldn’t hold back even when I was doing
web design I was born in front and the
decoding was really interesting I did a
bit of that but I was very interested in
the visual end of web design so I did
that for a while
very interesting back then we had some
people who who were very inspiring this
guy called the TJ I think the outfit is
dot Bob some of you might know him he’s
designed to be very very amazing those
days and we had very limited internet
access so I would walk inside Univ and
see his designs on the wall printed and
now rip them off go home and trying to
recreate what he had done and that’s how
he started for me that’s how the love
for aesthetics and graphic started why
I’m doing that I I realized that most of
the photographs that most of it designs
on the wall had photographs on them and
three largest and the photographs
conveyed the message I realized that
quite early so I was like okay it tastes
for graphic design is maybe largely
complementary you could debate that but
for me the photographs were more of the
message but I was the pool so I started
thinking about pictures
luckily I had a friend who gave me
point-and-shoot camera it’s a very very
long time I will take pictures of
anything anything that just interested
me
he doesn’t matter I he was fine or not
for me was just it was just interesting
to see the way niche or presented a
number of things the way humans
conducted himself the little little
things in in everything we do and
sometimes it’s not really serious it’s
just everyday life
maybe policeman standing by car trying
to take something from the driver I got
lots of photographs if I took them off
this light why do you want to get into
trouble with any of them so I started
collecting pictures from that time and
the rest is history
well I actually didn’t follow
photography afterwards I just left it so
I was doing something years later and we
had internet access it was like a
research I was being trained somewhere
it was a research so and we had lots of
time so I just okay this interest I used
to have let’s see if we can dig up
something new and then I studied again
that’s when I realized man a lot of
people doing it and it was really
amazing the impact it had on me maybe I
was very impressionable I don’t know but
back then that was how it started just
tell you live in trance history of how I
got my first camera I was getting ready
for my wedding and you know how weddings
could be I didn’t have much money trying
to get married but someway I got a
little break and have some money I hid
that money and didn’t tell my wife to be
and just a few days to my wedding I had
an opportunity to get the cameras I
bought it in spite of the challenge that
I had just to show you how much passion
can drive you and on my wedding night
actually I created myself a gift and
gave myself my first camera that’s how I
got my first camera now the moral of the
story here basically is that if you want
something bad enough and I interested
you will naturally gravitate in the
direction of where you find the
resources that stuff’s how things work I
believe this from from time pass that if
I really want something but if I have
little secrets if I want a new device
I just put it on my wall people on my
desktop so every time I open my computer
I see it
and somehow after a while I get it so
let’s just quickly go in this photograph
while I was photographing a wedding I
decide the kind of things you find on
the street to see everyday life so for
me my interest is basically in how
people behave that gestures the emotion
and and everything that just goes with
it and the beauty of it is that is not
posed it’s gonna take ton of money to
try and arrange models to do this but
the street presents a ton of this moving
forward this is just a little straight
of what I usually do the next stop is
alright this is a beautiful one I got
this close to my house one morning after
school once I was coming back and I just
stood there and I saw the boss I’ve
already seen this boss and like okay one
day I’m gonna forget this boss luckily
for me I found this and we today I took
a couple of shots but as the first god
first first came off I I took it I took
a couple of them and this guy jumped and
then there’s something about what they
call it decisive moments in street
photography that moments where
everything just comes together and this
is typical of that I’ll just move
forward and then show you the next slide
up next this is something I really love
this because this minimalist approach in
the streets you find different different
emotion different things but in all at
the end you realize that it’s it’s oh
it’s all about humans and all about the
way we behave and sometimes you really
can’t post these things move forward
when I just started I used to steal
pictures just I hide the camera
somewhere and just make few photographs
and interestingly they came out
beautiful that’s was taken in Delta
States somewhere in the other state I
really love that fact I framed and sold
I think I saw the photograph I framed
and sold it and some of this one if you
are very familiar with ring road before
ring would became what it became what it
is now these guys
I hope you not be offended but I guess
it was beautiful sights for me and this
is a policeman doing his walk right in
the middle of Ring Road and people are
passing by generally this is kind of
pictures that interest me and so I’ll
just show you a couple of them this this
is real horse oh man this is real horse
I was walking up to him and he was
pushing this stuff I just stood right
there and took the picture people asked
me don’t you get scared of course like
coming here – I guess kid
but what really interested me was
couldn’t fake these ongoing we and it’s
not possible to just pick you up again
so for me this is really priceless if I
possible to frame this and give it to
him how do that and because I know he’s
not gonna get it anywhere else I don’t
mind so this is what basically drives me
in photography to document human
activity our everyday life the mundane
the mundane and this finds practical
using documentary photography I’ve been
privileged to do a couple out our share
some slides much later moving forward I
was somewhere very interesting this one
celestial church and I was least on walk
around a and I just and I noticed that
there was a sign behind me and he’s
telling you to off you should have to
church over there that you can’t walk
past here with your shoes and I mean
this is really interesting for me I took
the photograph as well and yeah I mean
is recently like three weeks ago I was
driving around town and these guys
around that come to work for money were
clean your Yoshio in shield he stood
there if used to leave I didn’t have
money to give him so usually I just
bring my camera to scare them didn’t
and his eyes way like me and you have to
give me something but it’s looking at
his eyes there’s lot of stories if
you’ve got is Isis there’s just so much
story they so much so much that you can
you can take away and it’s typical or
was in our society this is one of the
things we are trying to be right we hope
that in the near future we’ll have all
these around but while they around about
be or not to document them that’s how
that’s my take on the whole thing moving
forward let’s let’s just go first I’ll
you sort of I made this photograph too
for me it’s it’s symbolic the next
picture will show you why this guy is
probably dreaming of becoming a soldier
but here’s the reality this is how they
look so whatever he had in mind is this
but this is eventually what its gonna be
like so the or no for me is being there
to document these things and I really
cherish it so every day when I move
around I scout for images sometimes like
what they are not having anything to
photograph I just come back home because
sometimes it doesn’t just walk that’s
the truth it doesn’t just work sometimes
moving forward is a conductor shadowing
if you know what shadow means it’s
calling for passengers and yeah this one
very very important this this guy is
really hustling these pirated CDs but
how do you stop this he needs to feed I
don’t know the only way can get this was
cheap is if he if we can make a living
if he finds this cheap pirated CDs to
sell this is the reality this is one of
the reasons why I like this not to
discredit other form of photography but
this is a connection this is a humanity
that I feel when I make these kind of
photographs moving forward for lack of
time I just got this camera then very
interesting and I was walking past doing
good and this lady was telling and I
you know what basically was a post on
these big bosses and then you know it’s
just happily hoping just be held at the
same time and I took the photograph when
I posted it I got a comment that was
really interesting about that right now
but let’s move forward and I’ll just
shake all right this is a van for
prisoners and this is basically stories
we find us in our city I make a point
but let me just go forward yes I love
this one particular this is my son you
know it’s an interesting mix between
restraint and freedom yeah he really
wanted to go out well I didn’t want it
and every now and then he would go and
hang my
it’s on look at the guys playing
football on this day I was lucky to have
my camera with me and it just clicked
that I was too trying to do right off
the the lead restraint in freedom that’s
that’s what I was trying right I made
this photograph II like you see
photograph tale a thousand words and
this just completely describe what I was
coming through on my son forward this
during the coronation yeah I documented
the coronation I had limited pass so I
couldn’t go in as much as I wanted but
so I told my camera on who came around
for the coronation and you started
looking for beautiful things to
photograph I love this job because of
the video all lined up three rows is
three men and look at the symmetry I
don’t know it’s just beautiful and this
photograph – and then yeah do you can
see this clearly apologize because I had
problem with my hard drive so I couldn’t
get most of the pictures I want some of
the Mac I took them from the internet
this is for me the crow nation that is
where this posters on the wall along the
street on post and he said the oval open
in 2016 and just underneath there was a
ribbon tying building is in Ring Road
and I was a massive poster of the Oba so
if I’m to summarize the whole story of
the coronation this picture would do it
for me I don’t know if you understand so
this is how I view photography and like
next door Enoch originally took a
different ship altogether so recently I
did a study about the relevance of a
reporter Hall in the coalition of you by
an area less that he was a very key
point during the crow nation I was lucky
to photograph this during the coronation
as well and since then I’m sure if I did
I didn’t follow you when I meet it was
after I read and I realize that this is
a beautiful story to keep and some
onlookers the radio by was passing I
don’t know a grab this from the internet
thing is the friend of my name is ham
piggy from the they were looking at it
was interesting I didn’t have pass to
get power
I was and these are the things I could
bring from it I wish I could share some
more with you
interesting yeah he has ready change
begins for me I mentioned when I was
starting when I studied before that dot
Bob the misty G made a very strong
impression and that impression has
produced lot of positive things in my
life it was just very small so my take
ei is let us focus on those small yet
positive things that we know is just to
amplify them that’s when our narrative
will begin to change that if we look
around us what we have will not be
interesting but in the Simeone
interesting places we’ll find those
little things that interest us and when
we blow them up that’s the story that
people are going to see about us this is
the changing face of traffic management
in the city I can attest that within my
own roots that’s a lot easier for me to
move around compared to where were
coming from so these are the stories we
hope to promote so that when somebody
has of being decided things that come to
your mind quickly all right beautiful
quote from a lot Eretz which captures
photography for me he said to me
photography is an act of observation is
about finding something interesting an
ordinary place I have found it has
little to do with things that you see
and everything to do with the way you
see them and then here’s a summary of
that same thing say the way we perceive
things change the way things ought
automated lips to us
that’s very true very very true you want
to become a challenge try to look at it
from the other points if you focus on
your negative you probably remain there
all right
I’m sister illustrate that same points
you see study at some point if you look
at this photograph Amit is photographing
Legos it was a speaker and ask you a
question now he was talking and if you
notice his hands on his pocket right
right but that’s not true this is
somebody’s head and a superimposed at
the same time so this illustrates the
point I just made before
that the way we look at things
ultimately change the way those things
appear to us I’ll just move forward okay
this is a project I did on the IDPs some
way NATO States I had a lot of
photographs but I choose not to show
those ones this morning I want to do a
comparison at least the way eating
everything that was happening here but
isn’t a pleasant way to eat right this
story is interesting he was coming from
school I can manage to speak house’ so I
engaged him and he obliged me so he’s
today and I photographed him these are
the stories I want to tell about ID bees
not these offerings they are going to of
course that’s part of your truth but the
more positive vibe we pump out there the
better for us I’ll just be fast okay now
if you look at this thing I’ll just
highlight that same points from here and
look at everyone’s face he is on the
negative side but it’s just one guy
who’s happy just one just one guy so for
me this is the way to change our
narrative when we focus on that tiny
little positive thing and amplify them
that’s the only way to change our
narrative all right this also
illustrates a point for me every day
looks like we are all on the same parts
every one costly in doing their own
thing but in the end we are all doing
the same thing you’re leaving your house
to hustle get back in positive happiness
so if you look at it for me
best I view we’re all moving together
well moving together but he knows that
we are different parts do you follow
this for me is what photography means
and that’s how we change our narratives
