Based on our client’s wishes - it was clear throughout the entire process we will use only organic materials.

The bright clean walls in contrast to the light wood, plants and art make this place feel like “home”, not just a house.

a street-level record of Johannesburg and the East Rand: taxis threading pavements, night lights on wet tarmac, the stubborn beauty of a city that’s forever rebuilding itself. Shot on the move, the work holds the noise, the silence, the grit and the grace—how people commute, hustle, wait, love, and survive.

A Johannesburg street portrait of a woman selling fruit across the city, photographed from above by col_shots. Her patterned dress blends with the reddish tone of the road, shaped by dust, construction, and the unfinished texture of the city. The image reflects informal trade, motherhood, survival, and everyday movement.
