                                                                                                                             Moments - David Southwood

A Wimpey Journey through the eyes of photographer David Southwood, South Africa, January 2006. crushed red velvet covers, hardcover, folio ( 32 cms x 32 cms), double page colour photography, some normal wear to covers, condition:  very good.

The consistency of Dave Southwood's work across the photographic spectrum demonstrates a commitment to the craft of photography and its power to communicate subtlety. His images brim with humour and empathy - all subjects own their frame and are treated with care. Beneath the clarity lies an educated gaze that skilfully identifies and handles complex human problems.

Dave Southwood's photos can be viewed at The South African National Gallery, where his work made up part of three shows,  two of which were broad surveys of South African art, The Finnish Museum of Photography, The Christoph Merian Stiftung, the collection of the Constitutional Court of South Africa, The Goethe Institut, The Spier Art Collection and private collections in South Africa and abroad. 

Southwood has also edited photo editions of magazines, taught at Universities and written for the art press. He has had invitations to talk at Yale (The MacMillan Centers Council on African Studies and School of Architecture), the International Centre of Photography, Ohio State University, the University of South Dakota, the Universities of Cape Town and Stellenbosch and many other tertiary Institutions.

                                                                                      MOMENTS is a corporate commission executed by Southwood in 2006.
