This is one of the last shoots that I done of one of my collections back in South Africa. The photographs were taken in a glorious Art Deco building that now houses squatters and an HIV/AIDS clinic, and is also where the little clothing manufacturers (comprised of 4 women in their 40s whom decided to club together and form their own business. Two of them have subsequently passed away from cancer and HIV-related illnesses) is based. Nonthlntha, the model speaks hardly any English and has never modelled before. If you look carefully, catch a glimpse of James in the mirrors taking the pics on an antique digital camera! These were the fun days.
