Through the lens of Johan Nieuwoudt
Johan Nieuwoudt has been taking photos for the last 11 years. He bought his first digital camera while on holiday and started by photographing everything around him, at the same time figuring out the different settings. Self-taught through watching YouTube videos and downloading photography courses, Johan honed his photography skills for three years until he was able to charge for his work.
“Over the years, my focus in photography has shifted numerous times, and it still shifts with my mood and my surroundings. I enjoy photographing exotic portraits, especially older faces, as they tell a story without saying a word,” Johan explains.
He also enjoys photographing landscapes and cityscapes, having travelled extensively in Southeast Asia and Southern Africa with the aim of capturing images that are unique, not only in their beauty but also their ability to inspire people.
Some of Johan’s photographs are currently on display at Mirror Mirror in Swakopmund. To find out more or to purchase some of his work, contact Johan at lourensnieuwoudt@gmail.com.
