Thato Mabaso
Thato Mabaso, artistically known as Director P, is a self-taught photographer and aspiring Director of Photography. Born and bred in Kagiso, Johannesburg, Mabaso discovered his natural mode of expression through his photography and videography practice, which has only enhanced his true passion for art.
His current focus is portraiture, videography and fashion photography. He has worked in the commercial industry since 2018, but remains rooted in the township scene as co-founder of Kasi Vogue - a platform for township-groomed creatives to empower themselves by expressing the core of their everyday existence. Recently, he has been working on collaborative projects which combine various disciplines such as photography, illustration, music and movement, while focusing specifically on developing his videography practice. Mabaso believes that, through his representation of characters and spaces, he can potentially provide alternative portrayals of South African narratives and culture.
