Provocative photo project "Hunters and their prey"
The pictures of the British photographer David Chancellor "Hunters" (Hunters) captured the hunters of South Africa (South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia). The ambiguous photo project explores the eternal conflict of man and wild animals, hunter and victim. For both, it is a way to adapt to a changing environment.
David Chancellor (David Chancellor, website davidchancellor.com ) was born and grew up in London, the capital of Great Britain. Now he has been living and working in South Africa for a long time. The genre that the photographer represents is quite difficult to clearly characterize. However, we will call it a "documentary reportage".
