Minds Behind the Vision
#1
Goal — Zambia's Top Photo Brand
Vision Before Equipment

Not a camera
brand. A
perspective
brand.

Founded in October 2023 by Arthur Chipolomoka, p1cture7his was built on the belief that vision matters more than equipment. The brand started with almost nothing but a smartphone and an eye for the extraordinary within the ordinary.

"Every frame is a moment that made us stop and say: picture this."

The work is urban, emotional, and intentional — drawn from real environments, real people, and real moments across Lusaka and beyond. This is not a gallery. This is a window into a way of seeing.

p
Picture This
An invitation to see things differently. To pause, look again, and find meaning in the overlooked.
1
Number One
The ambition to become Zambia's #1 photographic experience brand — not through volume, but through vision.
7
Seven Minds
Seven people whose thoughts, perspectives, and spirits breathe life into every frame captured.
