Found Photographs -Visual treasure
THIS VIDEO: For over twenty years I have been collecting and scanning discarded photographs that I have sourced from secondhand and charity shops. When combined into collections these images offer a unique vision of history. The photographers who took them were not self-aware about their photographic process. They were just recording their lives and the things around them that they found interesting.
My collection is mainly South African found photographs and so it says a lot about a period of the country’s history seen through the eyes of a small segment of the population. During the apartheid era, white South Africans were living lives similar to those of people in Europe and America. That was the period during which photographers used negative and transparency film to capture their Kodak moments.

ABOUT ME: The conversations focus on topics related to different aspects of photography including: art, documentary and photojournalism. The discussions explore the personal experiences of photographers and artists and how their work reflects both their internal and external landscape. During the past 30 years I have photographed in over 50 countries for magazines including National Geographic, Time, New York Times and Newsweek. I have held solo exhibitions in New York, London and Paris and my work is showcased in private and institutional art collections around the world.
