Dont give a child candy give them a camera so they can document their life.

This tenet shapes the work of activist and street photographer Lindeka Qampi, whose two-decade career represents a powerful act of storytelling and social change.

Born in the rural village of Bolotwa, Eastern Cape, Qampi overcame a difficult childhood selling clothes in neighbouring townships before picking up a camera for the first time at the age of 36.
