The star revealed to Briefly News that being on The Perfect Picture Season 2 was different for him because of the big difference between storytelling through pictures and videos. He said:

"Yes, there is a big difference between capturing images and being a content creator. Images which I learned on the show are about capturing that moment that tells a story through that moment. Capturing video its that at some point you have to see the story happening and build on it. While a picture is one moment that needs to tell a story throughout the whole moment."

He also added that another challenge he faced was that unlike presenting, being behind the camera comes with so many challenges. Lasizwe said the show helped him develop respect for photographers.

"One of the biggest challenges I faced was being behind the camera there was so much responsibility that needs to be put into place to ensure you capture the correct moment. With that being said, I had a new appreciation of how important photographers are, and how patient you need to be with photographers. If you don’t understand the idea, then you need to allow place for explaining that idea – because putting an idea on to picture is so difficult."

So I think I could do really well at being a photographer myself that works with people and also the type of photography that I prefer. You know, I think I'm more of a model. Um. Portrait type of photographer."
