Hello, I am Desiré Kokuvi Amouzou. At my core, I am a creator and a communicator, wielding the hybrid still & video camera to tell stories that matter. My journey as a freelance Documentary Photographer/Filmmaker and a new media journalist has been fueled by my love for photojournalism and documentary editorials.
A Blend of Cultures and Experiences
My multicultural upbringing across West Africa, Montreal, and British Columbia has shaped my perspective. As a mixed ethnicity African Canadian, I carry the legacy of my parents - a New York African American immigrant and a humanitarian worker from the Okanagan. They instilled in me a deep respect for our neighbors, our planet, and our creator, urging me to explore the significant questions of life and to stand for truth.
