CWPHOTOGRAPHY: Mall photography

Photography and Passion

Photography has been a living passion in the lives of many. A sheer driving force in the backbone of those always striving for perfection in bringing a reproduction of something existing or created to life in the form of a visual art piece. An ever evolving art form and a rapidly expanding medium ensures the serious enthusiast and professional a growing and endless array of knowledge and expertise to create images that have the potential to evoke emotion which in turn makes the art limitless. Just as this art form evolves and recreates itself, so does CWPhotography.

Mall interiors for Primall Media - copyright - Primall media - photos - Chris Wessels

I have been hanging around malls lately, taking me back to my teenage years but this time equipped with a sturdy tripod and a Canon 5D MKII. This is an ongoing project that I am enjoying all aspects of. From looking for interesting angles to just watching people and also the different ways they behave around someone with a camera. Permission was easier this time with the guys from Primall media behind the organisation, because normally it is quite a hassle getting past the 40 odd security staff with the licence to harass the Innocent photographer. Here are a few examples of what came to be.
Thanks Darren and Lee from Primall Media for this opportunity.

Maponya Mall - Soweto - Copyright - Maponya Mall - Chris Wessles

Maponya Mall lies in the heart of Soweto about 10 kms from the Baragwanath hospital on the Old Potch road. If you are ever in South Africa (or if you are here already) and ever around the Jo'burg area, I suggest you take a tour through Soweto and visit this mall, It is truly beautiful and interesting. Here you will be entertained and find real nicely priced goods as well. If you are into ethnic and cultural dress, there are a few gems to find here also. The people who frequent these corridors are very friendly and true to the warm African nature of making you feel welcome. Nice places to eat or stop for ice-cream or coffee and even something with a bit of a kick for the social occasion.

The surrounding Soweto suburbs also have allot to offer. It is very safe if you travel with someone who knows the area. I travel in and out of Soweto by myself often, I love the vibe and it is a very interesting place with loads of history!

Cedar Square - Copyrighted - Chris Wessels

I took these photographs for the Mall today after many attempts and numerous visits waiting a few months for the weather to clear, it looked like rain and was leaning toward heavy weather this afternoon, but at last, never let the weather fool you and rather be safe than sorry!

These are a few of my favourites from this assignment...
