Music Madness 1. Die Antwoord Live in Sweden.


Earlier this year I travelled to Sweden to watch some of the most amazing muscians I have ever seen. I only took shots of some of them but wanted to post some of the images over the next couple of days.

I have also put a track with each of the blog posts of the band in shot.

Today I have put up the Die Antwoord, the South Africa superstars who made it big in 2010. It was amazing to see tons of Swedish kids in Gotteborg singing the words to, 'Fish Paste.'

Dubai for a day.


Earlier this year while returning from South Africa to Johannesburg, I got delayed in Dubai for a day and had nothing better to do than go shopping, taking the new metro train and seeing the Burj Khalifa (the tallest building in the world). It was truly amazing seeing it from the train window.

Thats all.

Africa is GOOD X COLORS MAGAZINE





Earlier this year, I worked on collaboration between Colors Magazine (www.colorsmagazine.com) and Good (www.good.is). The intercontinental collaboration between colors which is based in Italy and Good which is based in the USA all about my home continent Africa. We where given a open brief and almost no budget so we decided to use what we had and make friends with the people we needed work from.

Ending up with something I am very proud of, it was also co-conceptualized by myself, Carlos Mustienes (Writer, Spain) and Josh Levi (USA, Designer). It was also my first Photo editing job.

I have included the Issuu link here where you can have a look at the magazine. There are some of my own images featured in the magazine. As well as this I also hit the streets of downtown Johannesburg (Bree Street) where I tried to find as many products from around Africa as possible. Some of these products where photographed in Italy for the magazine.

If you would like to see the mag you can see a digital copy below, if you would like to download the magazine supplement then it is available on the Colors Magazine website and directly at this link: http://lab.colorsmagazine.com/africa-mon-amour





I would love to hear some feedback on the mag.

Enjoy.

And the Winner is...


Just found out that I have won the ACP Courier competition Best Photograph in Belgium. Good news. I will be jetting up there in December to receive the prize.

The image that won the prize is from Colors magazine 78 'Dance' and is available at the moment. The interesting thing is that the image that won the prize is one of the un-published images. You have to love the irony in that.

Anyway. Check out the ACP Courier magazine website here http://www.acp-eucourier.info/  and Colors magazine here: http://www.colorsmagazine.com/

If you would like to see the other images from the shoot and the video that was made check out my blog update on the Pantsula story here: http://chrissaunderssa.blogspot.com/2010/10/colors-78-dance-pantsula.html
