The H family met me on a Sunday afternoon a few weeks ago in the quiet streets of Newtown for a photo session. We headed for the quiet blocked off street filled with graffiti that I love using.

I haven’t been there since before lockdown, so it was so awesome to see that some of the walls had been repainted with fresh tags. It’s a really awesome spot for photos, and even better when the graffiti is new and not the same as a previous shoot.

I took photos of the family 10 years ago with their eldest son was born, so it was really awesome to meet up with them again.

Sometimes the shot has to be taken from the side. I wanted to use the Johannesburg street sign, but there was a car parked in front of it… so I made a plan.
