"Urban Overgrowth." 2024
Francisco, a 27-year-old photographer, began his professional journey in 2018, specialising in real estate and architecture.
His sharp eye for shapes, contrasting light, and intricate details has since drawn him into the realms of product, fashion, and art photography, where he now focuses much of his work.
"My work explores the fragile balance between human infrastructure and the unstoppable forces of nature. Through the photographic documentation of trees outgrowing and disrupting urban pavements in Braga, I reflect on the clash between the rigid, short-term mindset of urban planning and the enduring adaptability of organic growth. My artistic process combines meticulous framing and flash to highlight the textures and tensions where human control meets natural persistence. This body of work seeks to evoke a dialogue about resilience, adaptability, and the need for cities to coexist harmoniously with their natural surroundings."

"Corrupt ANC." 2024
"In the 60s, 70s, and 80s parts of Louis Botha Avenue was a high street connecting the city center to the affluent suburbs surrounding, the high street was popular for shopping, restaurants and designer shops and apartments as South Africa had changed government and policy. Since 1994, a new and free Rainbow nation South Africa has emerged, and of course, Louis Botha Avenue has also Changed. The iconic main road has always acted like a vein allowing lifeblood to flow and enrich the areas around the two great cities, today this main vein brings the life blood of a new nation, the re-urbanisation of once segregated suburban areas has created a unique living space where contrasting groups of people are forced to look past their differences and live together. With all the potential social justice flowing down the river of Louis Botha avenue, there are also the troubled waters of the new government’s failure to deliver on its promises. The flooding of this socio-economic crisis is stark and confronting. Hard lives are lived next to soft ones. My pictures show Louis Botha Avenue in its truest self at present."

"Tavern Nights." 2024
Josh Simon is a photographic artist and chef from Johannesburg, South Africa. He is a self-taught photographer. He is interested in documenting the complex, changing landscape of the Rainbow Nation in its new normal day-to-day life.
"Louis Botha Avenue is a historic road in Johannesburg originally named after the first Prime Minister of South Africa, the general Louis Botha. The road originally connected the mining city of Johannesburg to the central city, Pretoria. The road allowed the two cities to trade, grow and become the financial and economic centers of Africa."

"Untitled 2." 2023
"This series, Explorations of a Voyeuristic Nature and the Undoings of the Internalised Male Gaze, examines themes of observation, perception, and the dynamics of seeing and being seen. It investigates the male gaze and its internalisation within society, prompting viewers to confront the often unnoticed impact of observation on how we perceive and consume visual media. Set within intimate bedroom spaces, the work transforms viewers into voyeurs, challenging them to grapple with their role in observing such private moments. By situating the images in a personal environment, the series evokes discomfort, a reflection of the daily unease experienced by many women under societal scrutiny. The interplay between public and private is emphasised through visual cues-such as open curtains juxtaposed against the darkness outside-blurring boundaries and creating tension between invitation and intrusion."

"Untitled 3." 2023
"The photographs aim to provoke a reconsideration of the subtle yet profound ways observation influences both our realities and our feelings, aligning closely with Documented's exploration of the contrast between what is captured and what is felt. Inspired by Margaret Atwood’s The Robber Bride (1993), the series delves into the internalisation of the male gaze, turning the lens inward to question how women may view themselves as objects within this dynamic. This work seeks to highlight the power of photography to reveal deeper truths about observation and perception, challenging viewers to confront their roles as spectators and reflect on how what is seen can shape what is felt."
