Hi, I’m Patrick Ngugi, a photographer based in Nairobi with a passion for storytelling that makes an impact. My work focuses on news and climate change photography—capturing the moments that matter, the stories that need to be told, and the realities that shape our world. Through my lens, I bring to light the human side of global challenges, whether it’s covering breaking news or documenting the effects of climate change on communities here in Kenya and beyond. I believe that a single image has the power to inform, inspire, and move people to action. Working with media outlets, NGOs, and other organizations, I aim to create visuals that resonate deeply and foster change. If you’re looking for powerful, story-driven photography, I’d love to explore how my work can help bring your vision to life. Feel free to take a look at my portfolio to see the world as I see it—or reach out if you’d like to connect!
