#Capetown photographer Thom Pierce (@thom.pierce) documented the lives of the people of the mountains of #Semonkong in rural #Lesotho, where many still travel on horseback. They live without electricity and the area is inaccessible by car. Pierce himself got around by walking, with a guide and translator, for 8 days. ‘The Horsemen of Semonkong’ will be exhibited at Everard Read’s Circa Gallery in Johannesburg from the 13th October until the 12th November. // #documentary #documentaryphotography #contemporaryphotography #portrait #portraits #portaitphotography #landscape #photographyexhibition #photojournalism http://ift.tt/2bL9h9w
