A History of Gold

21st June 2010, in Work (1 Comments)

In the beginning of this year I was commissioned to shoot Prints for a new hotel in Downtown Johannesburg. The photos are being used in over 120 locations throughout the hotel, printed at 4 meters by 3 meters. They were shot in very large format on a Hasselblad H2 with a Phaseone P45 Back. These are very large Prints, and seeing them on the web in a small size doesn’t truly do the work Justice. The brief was to document the history of how the discovery of Gold has shaped the Modern City. Here is a selection of work from the shoot.
