Broken Bumper Framed Photo | Johannesburg Street Photography

Broken Bumper is an original documentary photograph by COL_SHOTS, captured inside a vehicle in Johannesburg, South Africa, near the intersection of Bree Street and End Street. Framed through the right-side mirror, the image shows city movement, parked vehicles, buildings, and a recycler pulling a cart through the street.



This photograph documents the brutal and beautiful rhythm of Johannesburg — the City of Gold at sunset, where labour, survival, traffic, and light meet in one frame. The golden reflection on the windows and buildings softens the scene, but the subject remains grounded in the reality of street life: people moving through the city, collecting recyclable material by weight in exchange for money.



Part of the Broken Bumpers collection, this framed print reflects on mobility, work, inequality, and the everyday life cycle of Johannesburg.
