Lookey Reflects On Life Changing Moment

Photographer Lookey has reflected on the life-changing moment that thrust him into the national spotlight during the June 25, 2024 anti-Finance Bill protests.

In an emotional post marking the anniversary, he recalled how he was a young photographer from Kibera without even a camera of his own when he was captured carrying an elderly blind woman to safety amid the chaos of the demonstrations.

Lookey is a young photographer who gained widespread recognition for his selfless act during the protests, and has since become a notable figure in Kenya's photography scene.

The anti-Finance Bill protests were a series of demonstrations that took place in response to the government's proposed finance bill, which sparked widespread controversy and debate among Kenyans, with many taking to the streets to express their discontent.

The incident that brought Lookey into the spotlight was particularly notable, as it highlighted the human side of the protests and the acts of kindness and bravery that took place amidst the chaos, and has been widely referenced in public discussions around the protests and their impact on Kenyan society.
