About

Hi, my name is Arnold Manda. I am an independent photographer, writer, and consultant based in uMhlanga and Johannesburg, South Africa. I enjoy making and sharing my own inkjet prints, and sharing their stories with others. I am a self-taught photographer with a background in drawing and painting in high school. My professional background is in Cytogenetics which involves the use of microscopy and digital photographic imaging techniques for the capture and analysis of G-banded human chromosomes to identify aberrations. I am interested in using photography to explore ideas concerning creative expression, personal heuristic healing methods, and evolutionary biology. My pictures have been exhibited internationally in Athens, Rome, London, Gimpo, and Glasgow.
