Since I began to take heed of SA photographic culture, and what the newspapers detailed, I have been aware of Ponte Towers. The dark column has a long been used as a speaker through which to tell of Johannesburg's ills.
I was commissioned by Das Magazine to work there for 3 days.
It's been sanitised and is a pretty pleasant place in which to work if you do not mind heights.
The towers have been photographed as nauseam and are a cliche nowadays. I am much happier with the portraits I made, than I am with the structural work.
