Mutua Matheka is not your usual photographer. You probably know him from his architectural photos taken from the top of Nairobi’s tallest buildings as he risks life and limb to pursue his passion.

A graduate of architecture from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, Matheka has captured not only Nairobi’s cityscapes but has travelled to 13 cities in 10 Southern African countries in order “to disrupt the narrative about urban Africa.”
