Marc Shoul documents a niche element of South African society, exploring suburbs and cities in the Eastern Cape and Gauteng Province. Subjects are photographed engaging with the universal norms and processes of social existence. To illustrate their personal experiences, their portraits are imbued with the images and objects of their immediate environments.
The result: observing the familiarity of the unfamiliar.
