I first met Nik Bothma on board the boat, on the way out to Dungeons, to shoot big wave surfing. In fact I knew of his work in and around surfing before that, but it turns out Nik also has a serious side when it comes to shooting. Putting himself in war zones, such as when Liberian leader, Charles Taylor, fell from grace, has a whole new danger element when compared to shooting 60ft waves. Child soldiers, raving lunatics and flying bullets - I think I will stick to the Extreme Sports.
Now you can go and see his amazing work from all over Africa, at the Summer Group Exhibition, in Cape Town, at the Photographer's Gallery, from the 20 November till the end of January 2011.
