Notes

Kamogelo Machaba (b. 1998) is a Johannesburg-based multi-disciplinary artist specialising in photography, set design, fashion styling, and painting. Originally from Polokwane in Limpopo, her journey into photography was sparked by her experiences as a model. While she cherishes modeling, Kamogelo aspires to be the creative force behind the camera, channeling her passion for storytelling through vibrant colors.

Her photographic style is heavily influenced by the fashion world, where she explores themes of beauty and human connection. Kamogelo's work vividly communicates messages of self-love and awareness while challenging societal norms. Notably, she critiques the fast fashion industry and highlights the importance of play and freedom in adulthood through her photo series "Ready To Eat" and "The Pestel Playground." Her art is a celebration of colour, creativity, and the powerful narratives that emerge from human experiences.
