A picture I took 25 years ago. I did the darkroom work (a messy process!) I have not captured the formula with my digital camera yet to get this result.

At frist, I thought how pretty the light falls on her. After viewing though, I see what a distraction it is to her face in general.

A simple composition, with inspiration taken form Wynn Bollock. I wanted the apple to have aged over a few days to enhance the textures both in the flesh and the skin. I was aiming for the contrast between shiny wrinked skin and the matt texture of the flesh. It was taken with my Nikon D2x and 15-55mm Kikor 2.8. Three bracketed frames +-2 stops, HDR processed and the mono conversion in CS4.
By Zanele Muholi
Somnyama Ngonyama (2012 – ongoing) is a series in which Muholi turns the camera on themself to explore the politics of race and representation. The portraits are photographed in different locations around the world. They are made using materials and objects that Muholi sources from their surroundings.The images refer to personal reflections, colonial and apartheid histories of exclusion and displacement, as well as ongoing racism. They question acts of violence and harmful representations of Black people. Muholi’s aim is to draw out these histories in order to educate people about them and to facilitate the processing of these traumas both personally and collectively.
Muholi considers how the gaze is constructed in their photographs. In some images they look away. In others they stare the camera down, asking what it means for ‘a Black person to look back’. When exhibited together the viewer is surrounded by a network of gazes. Muholi increases the contrast of the images in this series, which has the effect of darkening their skin tone.
I’m reclaiming my Blackness, which I feel is continuously performed by the privileged other.
The titles of the works in the series remain in isiZulu, Muholi’s first language. This is part of their activism, taking ownership of and pride in their language and identity. It encourages a Western audience to understand and pronounce the names. This critiques what happened during colonialism and apartheid. Then, Black people were often given English names by their employers or teachers who refused to remember or pronounce their real names.

Zanele Muholi
(November 2020 – May 2021)
Zanele Muholi is one of the most acclaimed photographers working today, and their work has been exhibited all over the world. With over 260 photographs, this exhibition presents the full breadth of their career to date.
Muholi describes themself as a visual activist. From the early 2000s, they have documented and celebrated the lives of South Africa’s Black lesbian, gay, trans, queer and intersex communities.
In the early series Only Half the Picture, Muholi captures moments of love and intimacy as well as intense images alluding to traumatic events – despite the equality promised by South Africa’s 1996 constitution, its LGBTQIA+ community remains a target for violence and prejudice.
In Faces and Phases each participant looks directly at the camera, challenging the viewer to hold their gaze. These images and the accompanying testimonies form a growing archive of a community of people who are risking their lives by living authentically in the face of oppression and discrimination.
Other key series of works, include Brave Beauties, which celebrates empowered non-binary people and trans women, many of whom have won Miss Gay Beauty pageants, and Being, a series of tender images of couples which challenge stereotypes and taboos.
Muholi turns the camera on themself in the ongoing series Somnyama Ngonyama – translated as ‘Hail the Dark Lioness’. These powerful and reflective images explore themes including labour, racism, Eurocentrism and sexual politics.

Studying (or student dying) is something that's been taking up too much of my time lately. Although procrastination does creep its way in...
these two young women are preparing for the end of year examination - I'd just finished teaching a class of 'oral english' to forty plus students (including these two girls) it was lunch 12 noon - they decided to skip lunch and study thru the two and a half hours that the university gives the students for lunch (and rest).
I will hold an examination next week (which is worth 20% of their final results) examinations in China are always very important as the "system" is based on learning by 'rote' - I do not use this method. - Shangqiu Normal University - midday - Shangqiu, Henan, China
