KALENGA NKONGE, UNTITLED
It is part of the process of me trying to come to terms with myself.
It's work in progress.
Bio:
Kalenga (aka bonkoti) Nkonge’s images are captured digitally and during long extensive walks that he takes around Lusaka. In his current body of work the images are predominantly taken in Lusaka’s markets, busy residential areas, and wherever inspiration shows itself. When he’s shooting in busy areas he likes to capture people in their element, preferring to “shoot from the hip”, allowing him to be both participant and observer of a moment. There are equally special moments on his adventures where he gets to interact with the people he meets and he’s afforded the opportunity of taking portraits. There usually isn't a predefined idea of what he will capture, which he sees as a plus in his process, as he likes to be surprised by the compositions, colours, and stories that the space will present. Kalenga’s photography work centers, as its subject, the ordinary Zambian and the everyday Zambian experience. The documentary style of his photography is mixed with equal portions of grit, humour, and colour.
