ABOUT

While on a shoot in South Africa the producer mentioned he had a contact in Mitchells Plain on the outskirts of Cape Town where the numbers gang (ex) members lived. Would I fancy going to take some shots? Err yes please. While we had our man mountain contact/guard LJ showing us around it was still probably one of the scariest things I have done. Thankfully I can't speak Africans so couldn't understand what was being said by the locals, which is apparently just as well!
