Guy Tillim

Guy Tillim (born 1962) is a South African photographer known for his work focusing on troubled regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. A member of the country's white minority, Tillim was born in Johannesburg in 1962. Quotes "In my work I try to be pensive". "In the act of taking photographs I’ve always tried to find a feeling of suspension where the burden of the past feels light and unimposing for a moment". "It would be no good to offset the natural beauty with something unlovely – say, a construction site in paradise". "The camera sees more than the eye; it’s more dispassionate". https://www.re-vue.org/beitrag/in-the-head-the-lens-keeps-on-looking-tillm-geimer “The series ‘Jo’burg Story’ marked a moment in my career when I started to more decisively follow my own path, rather than trying to imitate photographers I admired.” “At the time it was a huge confidence-booster. I was, and still am, proud to be in the company of other winners of the Leica Oskar Barnack Award.” https://www.leica-oskar-barnack-award.com/en/winners/winner-2005-guy-tillim.html External link Category:Living people Category:Photographers from South Africa Category:1962 births
