Peter Otieno shoots passport pictures and portraits from his Kibera studio, often using an old Pentax K1000 camera.
 
According to Olendo "When making a picture you have to include the feet. If people can't see their feet they might not pay you. They might say 'I came in here with feet and you've forgotten them. This picture is no good.'"
