Boston 26

Phil Kneen Photography,

The white squatters camp at Krugersdorp has grown onto the side of a much larger, blacks only township. These images were taken in the ‘transition area’ between the two settlements. Despite being there to photograph the white residents, I did take a lot of photos of the neighbouring black kids too.

‘Friday 16th March – Driving back through Pretoria I see an immaculately dressed black woman crossing the road, her obviously expensive designer clothes compliment her flawless complexion. From a distance, it looks as though she has a hat on, but as we get closer, I realise that she has a well stuffed, brown and beige Louis Vuitton shoulder bag perfectly balanced on top of her head.’

All images made using a Pentax 67II with 105mm 2.4 lens. Film stock is Kodak Portra 160

I take photos of people, mostly.

  1. Thank you so much for stepping in at such short notice! Your talk, considering you were ‘winging it’, was fascinating. I don’t think anyone has silenced(apart from the laughter and blowing of noses) that room for two hours before! Sad, funny, inspiring, touching, emotive, honest, compelling, sensitive, honourable, empathetic…just a few of the superlatives I heard down in the bar.
    Well done, and thank you again.

  8. All of your shots are so sharp – do you use a tripod? I was led to believe the Pentax 67 is unusable below 1/60th without using MLU?
