The 2nd Creative Photography Mentorship Exhibition
Greatmore Art Studios is proud to present its second Creative Photography Exhibition. The show is the product of a two week mentoring workshop that explored analogue photography using cameras supplied by Exposure Gallery. Exposure Gallery is a photographic concept store that prides itself in being a platform for photographic inspirational products, cutting edge photographic artists, and avant- garde photographic concepts. Retail items sold in the store include Lomographic cameras, a camera known for its inherent playfulness and spontaneity used as a springboard for creativity.
The exhibition features seven young artists hailing from the Western Cape, Eastern Cape and London: Bangikaya Maqoqa, Siyabulela Mdoda, Sergio Majjie, Khynya Mehlo, Igshaan Adama, Sarah Benjamin and Abdul-Wahid Hendricks. The young artists have benefited from the guidance and mentorship from the following Cape Town based artists, Fiona Hoadley, Paul Weinberg and Niklas Zimmer.
The Exhibition opens on the 27th August at 5:30pm and runs until the 3rd September and has been made possible by generous funding from Arts and Culture Trust, Exposure Gallery and Orms Photographic Warehouse. Greatmore Art Studios is located at 47-49 Greatmore Street, Woodstock. The Gallery is open on weekdays from 9am-4pm.
Videographer – Danny van der Merwe
Danny van der Merwe has been a shooter for 18 years working in broadcast television. This is his show reel. He also makes short moving pieces which you can view on his blog. “My private work in moving image and photography bears little or no relation to my job except in examining in Macluhan’s terms the medium is the message.”
Have a look at Danny’s Flickr stream too for some very interesting imagery.

Global Moguls
This ambitious and exciting campaign is the brainchild of husband and wife team, Phillip and Jade Carlisle. They came up with the idea of Global Moguls after working on Blast Beat – an educational programme run in schools and colleges to find and educate potential musicians. The initiative is backed by multi-millionaire investor Simon Dolan. Klipdrift & Cola is presenting Global Moguls in South Africa. The big idea – Global Moguls is a web-based talent search for the next great unsigned band. What’s unique about the search is that it’s not only about the band but is also a launchpad for the entire creative team behind the band. The people responsible for the band’s identity from their logo to their photography to their music video. Want to know how it works?
Teams of creatives find unsigned bands to collaborate with, or an unsigned band finds a team of creatives to work with. Together they work through a series of music and media industry related tasks, starting with a rough-cut video and single track, moving to photography, design and finishing with a full-length music video.
Vote for the next one small seed cover.
One small seed magazine held a competition where members of the one small seed network could enter artwork to be considered for the next cover.

Head over to the voting page to view the entries and to help one small seed choose the best cover. And not just any cover, the one for the 20th issue CELEBRATE edition. Get voting now, you have until the 31st of July.
