Teddy Mitchener is the head photographer at House of Fotography, based in Nairobi
Kenya. A Washington DC native, Teddy is a self-taught photographer, having picked
up his first camera in 1992 under the tutelage of his father, Willie Brown. A fully
fledged professional photographer, Teddy earns his living in Kenya primarily as a
commercial photographer in the advertising industry and on private commissions.

For Teddy, photography is simply one of the many mediums he uses to express his
creativity. A graduate of The Duke Ellington School of the Arts, Teddy credits the
institution with broadening the limits of his creativity and instilling in him the love of other art forms such as plaster and stone sculpting, wood work, pencil drawing and painting. The merging of these mediums is what now informs Teddy’s personal projects and inspires his creative photography concepts.
