What exactly is a Selected Creative? It’s a one small seed initiative that takes talented, local artists and provides them with a platform to show their work. A Selected Creative needs to offer something fresh and intriguing in terms of technique, concept and execution. This week we are excited to present our newest Selected Creative, Siyabonga Mkhasibe. Read on to learn more about why Siyabonga was selected and what her work is all about. To make sure you stand a chance at being a Selected Creative, join onesmallseed.net today and upload your top creative work.

Self Portrait by Siyabonga Mkhasibe

Using a Nikon D90, with mostly a 50mm 1.8D lens or a 70 – 300mm Sigma, Siyabonga is successfully capturing documentary-style photographs that are crisp and have great light and movement. As an up-and-coming photographer, Siyabonga takes inspiration from 60s photographers the likes of Richard Avedon and Irving Penn as well as South Africa’s very own Roger Ballen, David Goldblatt and even popular Soweto photographers from ‘I See A Different You’. Siyabonga describes his work saying, ‘I think the way I think about photography informs and what it means to me generally informs what I photograph. I always want to create/capture the best document I can taking into consideration everything else I want to communicate through the photograph.’ If you like Siyabonga’s work, look out for his two future projects, which include a look back at South Africa’s 20 year history through the history of ‘Born Free’s’, which works with old photo’s. The other project is a series of profile images, with a focus on detail and form.
