THE ARTIST AS THE MUSE
HE’S OUR MAN IN THE UNITED KINGDOM. former FORBES AFRICA 30 Under 30 lister and South African photographer and creative director Trevor Stuurman is currently featuring his first solo exhibition outside of South Africa.
The collection of self-portraits, Trevor Stuurman: Life Through The Lens, opened in May at Doyle Wham, a contemporary African photography gallery in the UK.
“What I’m most looking forward to is entering a new market and having a different audience to my work. I’m quite comfortable with my digital audience but having an audience within a gallery space, and the opportunities that will bring – to just have my voice and my work living, having multiple lives outside of the digital space,” Stuurman says of this new personal show.
Hailing from Kimberley in South Africa’s Northern Cape province, Stuurman burst onto the scene after winning the ELLE Style Reporter Search award in 2012.
He has since photographed the likes of Barack Obama, Beyoncé, Teyana Taylor, Shanelle Nyasiase, Gigi and Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner
