George Mahashe, was born in Ga-kgapane in limpopo in 1982 and started photography by being an assistant to the local roaming photographer, when I got to grade 8 I got a camera of my own and well the rest is history, my interest with the professional photography developed when I became addicted to a men’s magazine called direction and the love for exotic looking women. Today my photography is more concerned with society particularly in the cultural social war between western and African concern. my latest project is “gae lebowa”(home north) and it looks at life in the north, from a cultural documents perspective. A tribute to a great socio-cultural economy which is at risk of extinction.
When my brain is not active I love photographing my friends and peers with the holga and disposable cameras.
