A freelance photojournalist, working for news outlets across South Africa and abroad, at the age of 27, he has already captured three wars, in Libya, Syria and Palestine and is passionate about what he does.

The series covers all creative fields, ranging from photography, illustration, product design, fashion, art and commercial advertising work.

Representing who young South Africa is

Editor Alix-Rose Cowie, says "The series is a great way to make people aware of and excited about the younger generation of creatives in South Africa. We want the series to be a dedicated space that represents who young South Africa is, what they're producing and what they're thinking."
