South African photographer Johno Mellish creates incredible images

Date
13 February 2013

Cape Town photographer and Filmmaker Johno Mellish has some impressive skills for such a young practitioner. He’s barely out of film school but already has a portfolio full of carefully crafted photographic work that takes inspiration from anything around him of interest, no matter how inconsequential. Equally comfortable shooting vast panoramic shots of South Africa’s daunting landscapes as he is constructing careful compositions of colour and light in his studio, there’s a sensitivity present throughout his work that holds together a variety of disciplines under one distinct and recognisable oeuvre.
