Meet the Voices Behind the Transformation
NiPHEC X isn’t just another conference — it’s a creative pilgrimage. And at the heart of this experience are the voices shaping, shaking, and setting the standard in photography and creativity across Africa and beyond.
This year, we’ve curated an extraordinary lineup of speakers — visionaries who have built iconic brands, documented presidential moments, turned lenses into legacy, and helped thousands rise from confusion to clarity. They are educators, creators, disruptors, and dreamers who’ve put in the work — and now, they’re showing up for you.
Each session is a masterclass in insight and transformation. Whether you’re a hobbyist, freelancer, studio owner, or creative entrepreneur, get ready to hear what they rarely share on social media — the behind-the-scenes grit, the silent battles, the game-changing shifts that can redefine your path.
