Nomsebenzi Tsotsobe




I was fortunate enough to be asked to exhibit some work at the Nike Be True concept store in Melville. The launch was last night and there was some amazing work there. For my project, I wanted to do some portraits of Nomsebenzi Tsotsobe (The SA Womans Rugby Captain), the series of three images explores the 'taboo' of a black female in a traditionally white male (Afrikaner dominated) role. But taboo's in a broader sense as well. Nomsebenzi was amazing to work with and I really appreciate the opportunity to shoot this. Here they are.
