Description:

In a career spanning over half a century, Jürgen Schadeberg has come to represent much more than the prototype of the visual storyteller. He epitomises the very best in photojournalism, a photographer with an uncanny sense of timing, momentarily and historically. He possesses an instinctive, idiosyncratic way of seeing, coupled with a rigorous sense of organisation. These attributes are combined with an astute insight into the human condition. He occupies nothing less than legendary status among contemporary photojournalists. Witness: 52 Years of Pointing Lenses at Life, this timely publication presents an overview of Schadeberg’s impressive collection. Included are photographs in a distinct South African context, juxtaposed with timeless images of an international nature. The seminal works are represented, together with photographs published never before.
