Street Photography nominee

Bo-Kaap is an area in Cape Town, South Africa. It is a centrally located township on the slopes of Signal Hill, formally known as the Malay Quarter. It is a traditionally multicultural neighbourhood with a large Muslim population. It is known for its colourful homes which were painted as an expression of freedom.

Pictured here is one of such facades with a baby blue old-timer perfectly positioned between a turquoise green and pinkish red building.

Wolf Nitschke is a French-German photographer based in Paris whose fine art documentary work traverses dramatic landscapes, the human impact on nature, and the social impact of urbanism.

With a highly considered approach to his art practice, Wolf's work is recognisable for its clarity and distinct depth of emotion, documenting the complex relationship between humans and nature, urbanism and social fabrics, and architectural design practices.

Wolf's practice investigates the unique and complex bonds humans develop with natural environments. His work explores our impact on the world, and the world’s impact on us, by revering the sublime elements of nature and examining the human context therein. With concern for the fragility and sustainability of our planet, Wolf's work focuses on locations that hold significance within the global predicament of climate change, urbanism, equality, and social justice.
