Ugandan photojournalist to publish own magazine

The photographer told Bizcommunity in an interview on Friday, 7 August 2009, that his 60-page magazine will hit Kampala shelves this September with an 80% image load. The main focus of the bi-monthly magazine will be on top business, fashion, music, entertainment events happening in Uganda.

Top Events, the celebrity snapper said, would play a big part in delivering news content happening in Kampala through more photos and less text because Ugandans are lazy readers. “People in Uganda lack a reading culture, but they enjoy and like to get stories by looking at photos. That's why Top Events is coming to offer that option,” said Babara the chief executive of Fotosource - the publishing house. The magazine will be a brand of Fotosource Limited a photography and modeling agency.

Prior to forming his company in 2006, Barbara worked for the Daily Monitor and New Vision newspapers before becoming a freelance photographer.
