Takalani Mafumo (Taki) is a Photographer & Multi-Disciplinary Creative, b. 2001, Pretoria, South Africa | Based in Pretoria & Johannesburg, South Africa.
Takalani (b. 2001, Pretoria, South Africa) is a South African multi-disciplinary creative currently based between Pretoria and Johannesburg. Holding a BA in Visual Communication from OpenWindow, with a double major in Photography and Interaction Design, they work across photography, videography, and interaction design to create evocative visual narratives that blend portraiture and landscape, drawing deeply from cinema to connect with viewers on a personal level.
That foundation in both lens-based art and UX/UI design shapes everything from how they approach a frame to how they think about the experiences their work creates, bringing a rare dual fluency to their practice.
Beyond photography, Takalani is passionate about film, collaborative creative work, and continually pushing into new artistic territory. They believe in making art and design genuinely accessible, and carry that belief into every project, whether through a camera, a video production, or a digital interface. Mafumo's practice is built around connection, with people, with spaces, and with the moments that pass between them.
Their work is an act of memorialisation, slowing time just long enough to preserve a feeling, so that no matter how far you travel from a place or how long ago a moment occurred, you can always find your way back to.
