I loved talking to Motheo, I learnt so much about how he sees the world, literally through his lens. We talk about his love of storytelling, particularly storytelling from an African perspective, we talk about how his childhood impacted his love of light and lighting black skin, cinematographers that inspire him, representing the African continent on a global stage and of course, music.
