Yahoo Style / SAFW 2015



Tasked by US based Yahoo style, I hit the streets during SA Fashion Week looking for people with unique stories and amazing looks. Johannesburg is always a challenge and I ended up grabbing people after the shows and arranging with them on the following days to shoot them with better light and more unique settings (SAFW is held in a hotel which can a little monotonous). I also wanted to include some of JHB's style legends that I hadn't shot before.

A Soweto Home


Busy Recce'ing for a TV shoot coming up and came across this very colourful Soweto home. I think its a portrait of a colourful cliche.
