POLOKWANE – Lemao Photography is a company based in Turfloop, Mankweng unit B (Toronto). The company is owned by two young men, Samuel Lemao (founder) and Samuel Mphaga (managing director), who were born and bred in Turfloop. They established the company in September 2017.
Lemao says when he started his company he did not expect it to grow as big as it has. He just wanted to capture memories and make sure his clients have something to remember their events.
“I never thought the business would get to where it is now. Just like any other up-and-coming photographer, when you start with photography, you are excited about shooting and creating. You forget that photography is a business and you need to follow its principles,” he added.
The duo say they are inspired by where they come from and their aim is to change how people look at photography. They say they might want to go into the advertising industry where they want to give entrepreneurs an opportunity to shoot an advert for them for free.
Mphaga said they want to be one of the key industry players. “We will offer two small business in Limpopo with an opportunity to shoot free ads for them by using two powerful tools, photos and visuals, and using the right channels of digital marketing,” he said.
They explained that this programme is another way of giving back to the community as they want to uplift young entrepreneurs in the province by exposing them to bigger markets.
