Wilhelm Venter is a Cape Town-based architect and product designer who takes intriguing photographs in his free time
Though exposed to photography at a young age through the pages of National Geographic and Time magazines, it was only later on a European tour with local band Fokofpolisiekar (Wilhelm’s brother is drummer Jaco ‘Snake’ Venter) that he was inspired to take pictures after seeing Liam Lynch at work.
“He was omnipresent with his camera strapped to his hand, and had a gift for anticipating when interesting moments would happen and where he should position himself to get the best composition for a shot,” says Venter. Soon after, he bought himself an advanced compact camera and began developing his now sharp eye for interesting compositions and content.
