Cape Town Portraits

Shot in and around Cape Town. Many of the images were shot the day after Nelson Mandela died, and showed the emotional hold he had on the population. I don’t think anyone there had any idea how bad it was all going to get afterwards.

Photographs in this album include: Alex goes to Salt River, Company gardens pixie, Spectators at Newlands, Madiba’s funeral, Missing Mr Mandela, Thinking of Mr Mandela, Africaner ANC member pays his respects, Memorial Hat, and more.
