Joburg through my lens - Brian Koping (Brian Koping, 2006)
Joburg through my lens - Brian Koping (Brian Koping, 2006) Koping's aim has been to document the changing city. He has captured the city in glorious style, with Joburgers in all guises - on motorbikes, walking, sailing, cycling and running, but mainly, enjoying their city. He has been photographing the city since the 1960s, and has included several historic black and white pictures of old Sophiatown and old Hillbrow. The city centre is well represented, as are the northern suburbs, but aside from several forays into the south, you won't find images of the suburbs on the periphery of the city, like Soweto.
