About Muphulisi
I am an ambitious self-made young
lady. I believe in dreams and believe that
dreams come true, but the only way for that
to happen is through sheer hard work. I love
everything Art but fashion defines me. I am a
leader and I am enthusiastic about taking up
new challenges in life. I have always been
an achiever and always trust my creative
vision.
When did you first become interested
in fashion photography?
I've always been that girl who knows how to
put together great outfit and pose for the
camera just to get pictures of what am
wearing. It was at that particular moment I
realised my purposes and potential
Comparing where you are now with
where you were when you first started,
what could you have done differently
to get to where you are sooner?
What I would have done differently is
changing the choice of my degree. If I had
studied fashion or photography things would
have been easier and bigger. I would have
enough time to attend more shows,
exhibitions or programmes that i don't get
the time to attend.

What sparked it and when did you decide
that it was what you were going to do?
What really sparked my interest was my
cousin Tshepiso Motaung who is also a
fashion photographer. Ru Smata a friend of
mine inspired me a lot through his wedding
photography. I found my focus on
photography and learnt a few tricks from
him.
