About the photographer
Alice Mann was born in Cape Town in 1991 and lives and works between Cape Town and London.
Mann’s intimate portraiture essays explore the idea of image-making as a collaborative act. She aims to create images that empower her subjects and develops projects over extended periods, allowing for engaged and nuanced representations. Her work has been published in international publications including The Guardian, The New Yorker, and the British Journal of Photography. It has also been exhibited at Red Hook Labs in New York, at Unseen Amsterdam, and at the recent edition of AddisFoto Fest. Her series “Drummies” was selected as a winner of the 2018 LensCulture Emerging Photographer Prize and the PHMuseum Women’s “New Generation” Prize for an emerging photographer. She was recently awarded the 2018 Taylor Wessing Portraiture Prize—the first time in the exhibition’s history that a series has been selected for first prize.
