Pro member Publish Not your original work? Add source Photography as an art form can be used very widely. One image is able to capture naturally occurring events, while others are staged to explore the taboo of more difficult subjects. Justin Dingwall is a South African contemporary artist and commercial photographer who has gained recognition by challenging traditional beauty ideals and exploring their stigmas, especially in the African culture. He is best known for his fine art series such as: "Rerouted", "Albus", "The seat at the table", and others. However, his photography can best be described by his own words: "I do what I do for the love of new experiences. My imagery is not bound by language or culture. I want my work to speak for itself and for people to interpret it in their own way. I want people to be affected by my images… As long as someone is feeling something, I am achieving my goals." Justin's latest project is called "Rerouted", which was a collaboration with fashion designer Roman Handt. It explores the topic of our recent restrictions and how our movement can affect every aspect of our lives. The artist shares on Instagram that: "Voyaging is largely how society progresses, as humans explore, learn, and find new pathways and livelihoods. We cannot move forward without travel." So as you have noticed, Justin's photography has a deeper meaning within, and we invite you to immerse yourselves in his beautiful works of art, Pandas.

"The idea for these images started at a time when South Africa was focused on the issue of xenophobia, which was prominent in discourse all throughout the country. Many people were leaving their homes from outside South Africa's borders and traveling to find a new place to fit in. For reasons of poverty, lack of work opportunities, etc.. they were looking to find a new "identity" in South Africa. Unfortunately, many local people refused to accept them and they were persecuted. At this stage especially, there was a violent reaction to the influx of foreigners. The media was filled with many violent altercations between the local communities and the foreigners. These people were unable to return to their home countries and were also not accepted in their new surroundings."

This Photographer Creates Series That Are Not Bound By Language Or Culture 59 Pics
5Kviews HidrėlėyPro member Publish Not your original work? Add source Photography as an art form can be used very widely. One image is able to capture naturally occurring events, while others are staged to explore the taboo of more difficult subjects. Justin Dingwall is a South African contemporary artist and commercial photographer who has gained recognition by challenging traditional beauty ideals and exploring their stigmas, especially in the African culture. He is best known for his fine art series such as: "Rerouted", "Albus", "The seat at the table", and others. However, his photography can best be described by his own words: "I do what I do for the love of new experiences. My imagery is not bound by language or culture. I want my work to speak for itself and for people to interpret it in their own way. I want people to be affected by my images… As long as someone is feeling something, I am achieving my goals." Justin's latest project is called "Rerouted", which was a collaboration with fashion designer Roman Handt. It explores the topic of our recent restrictions and how our movement can affect every aspect of our lives. The artist shares on Instagram that: "Voyaging is largely how society progresses, as humans explore, learn, and find new pathways and livelihoods. We cannot move forward without travel." So as you have noticed, Justin's photography has a deeper meaning within, and we invite you to immerse yourselves in his beautiful works of art, Pandas.

"The idea for these images started at a time when South Africa was focused on the issue of xenophobia, which was prominent in discourse all throughout the country. Many people were leaving their homes from outside South Africa's borders and traveling to find a new place to fit in. For reasons of poverty, lack of work opportunities, etc.. they were looking to find a new "identity" in South Africa. Unfortunately, many local people refused to accept them and they were persecuted. At this stage especially, there was a violent reaction to the influx of foreigners. The media was filled with many violent altercations between the local communities and the foreigners. These people were unable to return to their home countries and were also not accepted in their new surroundings."

"The idea for these images started at a time when South Africa was focused on the issue of xenophobia, which was prominent in discourse all throughout the country. Many people were leaving their homes from outside South Africa's borders and traveling to find a new place to fit in. For reasons of poverty, lack of work opportunities, etc.. they were looking to find a new "identity" in South Africa. Unfortunately, many local people refused to accept them and they were persecuted. At this stage especially, there was a violent reaction to the influx of foreigners. The media was filled with many violent altercations between the local communities and the foreigners. These people were unable to return to their home countries and were also not accepted in their new surroundings."
