Liam on Sunset
Photographer Liam Lynch has played a massive role in my photography development and his unique photojournalistic eye has done even for Fokofpolisiekar’s portrayal over the years. Fokofpolisiekar went into studio in 2018, straight after the Selfmedikasie album, to keep up the creative flow and record a surprise EP called Droom Hoog. Liam was there to document it. I took this picture of him at Sunset recording studios while he was surveying the farm for a location to shoot a band portrait of us. Fun fact: Shortly after taking this photo one of the horses almost trampled us.
Hotel Self portrait
Late night self-portrait on tour in Pretoria. This was taken in 2017 at about 5:30am in Fred Den Hartog’s (Die Heuwels Fantasties) hotel room. I’m rolling my last ciggie before retiring for the night because everyone else in the hotel room has passed out.
B2CY
I’ve been playing music with Fokofpolisiekar for 18years now. It’s a rare thing to have friends for so long let alone friends you play music and do business with. The recipe for this unique relationship boils down to respect between members and each person understanding the role that they play and the value that they add. This photo was taken at a soundcheck at Presleys in Pretoria where we were discussing the upcoming release of the band’s first full length album in 11 years, Selfmedikasie. Each person’s body-language is unique to who they are.
Witsand
Textures, water, sun and the one. My wife, Lindi, dipping her feet in the water at Witsand beach. This is the closest she ever gets to swimming.
In 2021, Hugo Modern brought to life a selection of limited edition photographs by Fokofpolisiekar's drummer Jaco S. Venter. Twelve of his superb black & white shots were offered for the first time at Gallery ONE11 as signed and number limited edition prints.
