Whilst browsing 75 (a South African photographic journal commuity site) I discovered George Mahashe, the South African photographer whose created these powerful images. They are raw, strong and unique. The styling is great and I would love to work with him one day. One day... His company, Visual Uprising, has an inspiring gallery to browse. It was difficult to find some info of George but Resolution Gallery had an bio on him, be inspired:

" George Mahashe was born in Ga-kgapane in limpopo in 1982 and started photography by being an assistant to the local roaming photographer, when I got to grade 8 I got a camera of my own and well the rest is history, my interest with the professional photography developed when I became addicted to a men’s magazine called direction (which then developed into FHM) and the love for exotic looking women. Today my photography is more concerned with society particularly in the cultural social war between western and African concerns. "

I love promoting any contemporary African designers, so please let me know if you are one or know of one..

luv and light
