Johan du Preez
Photographer | Essayist
Johan du Preez is a photographer whose work explores the quiet relationships between people, place, and the natural world. What began in Asia as a curiosity-driven pursuit has gradually evolved into a practice shaped by patience, observation, and interpretation. From Iceland’s storms to the weathered grandeur of Angkor Wat, his work reflects a belief that subtlety and humility often reveal more than spectacle. Black Cotton, a project created in Africa’s wilderness, remains a touchstone in his practice. His current projects, Margins of Safety and Signal & Bond, continue this inquiry, examining how people, animals, and landscapes respond to uncertainty and change.
