"I've been doing photography professionally for 2 years, but no one actually knows my story." Meet @nanakinq , a photographer and content director working across sports, music, celebrity lifestyle, and culture. Within this role he has worked in different capacities for brands such as @arsenal, @chivasregal, @timberland_eu, @nike and @meta Check out his portfolio on NewComma and comment KINQ to get access to his services if you want to work with him. He moved from the kid playing football, to making konko cars, drawing on walls, to doing visual arts. Back home in Ghana, people didn't always understand what being a creative kid was. Either you looked dirty doing it, or there was no future in it. They called him and kids like him Kubolor. This inspired him to create a stunning photography exhibition that celebrates the experiences that raised him. But the kid making a konko car that looks like a Tesla? No one gave him that instruction. That came from his own imagination, designing the future. If creatives like him had been guided properly, so many more would have come out of where he's from. by @new.comma
