The Inner City

Johannesburg’s inner city has, since the mining town’s formation, served as the first stop for new arrivals to the city. As such, it has always been vibrant and in a constant state of flux. I initially started photographing the area in the nineties when racial segregation laws were being lifted and black South Africans had begun moving from the townships to the city. A monograph of my black and white images from that period, The Inner City, was published by Ravan Press in 2000.
