Ngwane Ehabe Kwame, aka Kreative Kwame is an internationally acclaimed Photographer & Director from Cameroon, with work exhibited by the likes of the United Nations & Amnesty International in cities like Paris & Geneva.
He likes to describe himself as an “experimental storyteller”, dabbling with anything creative, be it through copy writing for brands, advertisement production, creating shorts & documentaries — all this through his startup, ALAKIND.
He acquired a degree in Journalism and Mass Communication in the University of Buea.
He created a radio program aimed at getting up and coming artists radio play, called the Young Ambitious Talented Show (The YAT Show), won the Best Radio Entertainment Program voted by the Association of Student Journalists.
Fell in love with Public Relations, Advertising and Social Media, which pushed he and his co-founder of The YAT Show, Zogo Saint Clair, to create and run a partnership campaign that saw them have the first billboard advert at the University Entrance.
Also, he has experience in print media and television, with an internship in Cameroon Tribune, HI Television and Chariot Radio.

His first steps towards activism with photography and videography was with his “Dunk the Dirt Challenge”, a social call to action against littering.
He also has a work relationship with SUGi, an international biodiversity NGO, working with Ecological Balance in Cameroon.
The United Nations & AGORA
Participating in international competitions led to one of his career highlights, as a photo from his photo series Through the Walls of Colorism was selected for an international exhibition in celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations in October 2020, in Geneva. The photo also went on to be exhibited in New York and Paris in from July to September 2021.
In his interview with Global Awards, AGORA, as one of their leading creatives from Africa, he revealed he still doesn’t own a camera of his own, and creates with what he can, how he can.
A photo from the series SHAME which he created in response to the Kumba Massacre, was the cover of La Famille Magazine, Edition Speciale in November 2020.
