Fred Zafran is a documentary photographer of ordinary everyday events and aims to explore the world as a metaphor and a map of the inner human landscape. A lot of his work is an observation of city life, random occurrences on city streets, and intimate portraits of random subjects and culture. Overall I like his style of photography a lot and what he decides to capture. I  also think the way he captures light contrast it with shadow with each individual shot only strengthens uniqueness of each photo's composition and only helps further strengthen the theme of what he sets out to capture.

Masixole Feni photo series "Water is Life" explores the issue of clean water,  sanitation services, and safe housing for the residence of Cape Flats a collection of informal settlements, or township areas, that lack the infrastructure of the city’s wealthier neighborhoods. Feni's project extends beyond documenting the issues that affect this community of people. Feni’s project describes conditions in the townships without resorting to sensationalist presentations of the communities,  and this is ever present in how the composition and framing of each individual photo.
