Another photographer whose work I noticed (I think I saw it in a magazine) on my recent visit to South Africa. Outside of commercial work, his subjects range from music bands to the inhabitants of small South African towns.

Here are links to his bio and his blog.

African photography magazine.

“The South African photographer and queer activist Zanele Muholi updates the classic ethnological tableau of an exotic, all but nude “native maiden” by having a model of ambiguous sex play the part” in her photograph “Miss D’vine I.” That’s an excerpt from New York Times art critic, Holland Cotter’s review of “S&M: Shrines and Masquerades in Cosmopolitan Times” is at 80 Washington Square East Galleries, New York University, through Saturday.
