#Fotografi | BTS @ Yungloon Taliboom’s Videoshoot
The producer/emcee duo comprising Maloon TheBoom and YoungstaCPT’s recently-released video for their song “Muchas Gracias” was filmed at the beginning of 2017 in Cape Town. A lot has changed since then; YoungstaCPT’s since parted with his old management, and stamped the South African music landscape with his trademark quickfire rhyme schemes. He’s also bagged a […]

#Photoessay | Breeze Yoko’s Boniswa Goes To Town
The wind is strong. It’s Cape Town, end-March. Still, the wind’s muscled-up; buff and tuff! It’s all relative though, as with everything else in the city. So it’s no surprise that the CBD is experiencing relative calm while Woodstock, where multi-disciplinary artist Breeze Yoko (TaKasi)’s been painting for the past two days, looks like a high-paced rave, […]

#Phototessay | Behind The Scenes At Uno July’s ‘Isukile’ Videoshoot
When power cut in the middle of his studio session in November 2016, Gugs-born Uno July took a short break in the Red Bull Studios’ lounge in Cape Town — a medium-sized not-quite-room where talks with outstanding cultural figures whose work touches on, or is directly influenced by, music, are often held, and upon whose […]

Vote For Headwarmaz At The #SAHHAs
The homie Sabza didn’t invite me over to his Headwarmaz show one Friday night while I was in Cape Town. Rather, I sent him a text saying that I’d like to come, essentially coercing him to agree or risk me making him guilty for refusing.

For Bonzaya, Till We Meet Again…
My man Bonzaya passed away following some circumstances last year. These pictures were shot a few months before he left, on our way back to Cape Town CBD following a rehearsal with Youngsta. I’ve been sitting on these images for what seems like eternity, wondering what’s going to become of them. Photographing people’s difficult; they die and […]

Faces 010
He came to me and asked what I was going to do with the picture I’d just taken, and I responded with a shrug. “Keep it man, keep it”, he said.
