“I realised that there was a lot out there that needed to be documented. Even though I was working for Style, a lifestyle magazine aimed at affluent South Africans, I decided to join Afrapix and also document the other side. I was criticised for working at Style; this was the mid-1980s, when a lot was happening, and people were joining the United Democratic Front and the End Conscription Campaign. My response was, ‘While you are busy documenting the poor, I’m documenting the rich, and you can’t pretend they’re not here; they are also part of South Africa.’ So I would go along to those up-market events and portrait shoots, and drive to Soweto later the same day. It was a schizoid existence, adapting from one situation to another, but somehow I did it, and many others did too. I didn’t join any of those organisations, but I did join Afrapix, and my eyes were opened.”
