Bartica youth explores talents in photography, music

Malcolm Yusuf Hinds, the founder of M Blitz Photo-graphy at Bartica, produces work that remarkably surpasses his 18 months of being in the profession and is one of the most sought-after digital artists in Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni).

He specializes in portrait, fashion, wedding, baby and family photography and lives to capture the joy of others through his lens then share those photos with his clients. Seeing their faces light up brings him much pleasure.

Malcolm was the sixth child for his mother and the first for his father. For most of his life he was an introvert, always shying away from socialising. Instead, he poured his energies into writing poems. A friend and classmate who loved performing began putting dancehall rhythms to his poems and would perform them in class; Malcolm soon joined him. He later started to favour hip-hop and rhythm and blues genres. The duo became great friends, and thus the once-shy teen began his journey to a road of opportunities.
