David
Goldblatt, born November 29, 1930, is a South African photographer who is
famous for his portrayal of South Africa under apartheid. Goldblatt began
photographing at age 18, and the images of South Africa under apartheid were
done in black and white, as he believed that color “was too sweet a medium” to
convey the horrors of the apartheid and the anger and fear it instilled.
Goldblatt didn’t begin photographing in color until the late 1990’s while
working on a project involving blue asbestos.
