Paul Weinberg: A history in black and white photography

Photographer Paul Weinberg’s career stretches across almost five decades.

Weinberg was a founding member of Afrapix and South, two collective agencies that gained local and international recognition for their uncompromising role in documenting apartheid and the popular resistance against it.

In his early career as a photojournalist, Weinberg worked on the ‘frontline’ of history, capturing pivotal moments in South Africa’s struggle.

Throughout his career, Weinberg has sought to go beyond the headlines, engaging in in-depth storytelling.

His work has taken him on extensive journeys, from urban landscapes to remote rural settings and everything in between.

Here we bring you a selection of highlights from the exhibition
