Sipho Gongxeka
The work of Sipho Gongxeka, really caught my attention due to the ambiguity of his images. My initial response to his work; personally feel somewhat miss lead in terms of how i perceive a narritive to these images (or whether his images was based on a narrative at all), due to the fact that these images doesn't show a signarture relationship that would classify them as one unit of work or preasented as individuals images holding to no connection between one another. The meaning or purpose for these images, I feel are very vague. It is difficult to have an educated guess as to what the meaning might be. I could only assume from observing the images as a collective; the photographer has clearly approached the images with the possible intention of constructing them with clear and obvious meaning because of the simplicity in his pictures. However visually speaking i would automatically assume that his type of work would be based around documentary photography perhaps, due to the main subject reflecting its background as there is no indication to the viewer to title the location of where Gongxeka shot his images, therefore i can infer that he's images could predominately be based around the idea of documentary photography purely because interns of technicalities of how he chose to shoot these images it doesnt appear to have in any qualities to represent as professional standard (in my opinion); this would all depend on what Sipho Gongxeka's concept was when producing these images.
