What Pro Photographers say

  • Janik Alheit (Pro Photographer and Videographer)

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    “The first time I came across Muji was through one of his YouTube tutorial videos. I made contact with him soon after as I saw how positive and dedicated he was to the art of photography, and those are the people I wanted to surround myself with. Since then, we have gone on many photo adventures together, and I have seen his skills grow and, most importantly, his ability to teach those skills to others. I highly recommend his teachings to anyone looking to learn how to use their camera and then how to put it to practical use to create art.”

  • Kamran On Bike. World renowned Cyclist and a Photographer.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    “During my cycling trip in South Africa, I’ve had the privilege of photographing alongside Muji, a genuine storyteller and photographer. I quietly observed him recording photography lessons during our hikes in the Cederberg Mountains. His sincerity shines through in every lesson, as he focuses not just on capturing beautiful images but on teaching how to weave stories into visuals. His passion for helping others grow is evident in the way he encourages students to see beyond the lens, capturing moments that speak and inspire. Anyone learning from him is not just learning photography—they’re learning the art of storytelling.”

  • Mark Dumbleton. Wildlife and Landscape Photographer.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    "I’ve known Muji for a long time and have closely followed his work. His artistry reflects not only exceptional skill and dedication but also a profound passion for photography. It's clear to me how deeply he loves what he does."

  • Dylan Haskin. Commercial Photographer, Videographer, Marketing Agency Owner.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    “Muji is an incredibly knowledgeable and talented photographer with an eye for capturing the beauty of our world. His travel experience and life experiences add to the value he provides in his work as a photography teacher. I would highly recommend anyone doing work with him.”

  • Ivan Hendricks. Wedding, Couple, Portraits, and Live Music Photographer.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    I’ve always admired his work, and especially his videography. He’s a strong, creative influencer who inspires other photographers and videographers. I love the way he tells his stories; he is always going through some thorough planning and includes an appropriate B-roll. Having moved out of the corporate world to pursue this passion, I know that Muji will be very successful. When I cannot find answers on social media regarding a specific photographic/video topic, I reach out to him, and he always obliges and makes time to share his knowledge.
