Gavin Goodman, Luhlaza, 2021

A Monday emergence, by South African photographer Gavin Goodman. A successful image-maker within the advertising industry, Goodman is also a fine art photographer who creates striking figurative scenes, set against monotone backdrops. Betraying his keen eye for composition and fondness for geometric props, Goodman’s striking portraits evoke those of the 20th-century luminary Irving Penn, albeit with a sharp modern edge.
