Biography

Cedric Nunn (born 1957) is a South African photographer best known for his photography depicting the country before and after the end of apartheid. Nunn was born into a mixed-race family in Nongoma, KwaZulu, in 1957. He was raised in Hluhluwe, Mangete and Baynesfield. He attended school in Ixopo KwaZulu-Natal up until standard eighth (Grade 10), when he was fifteen. He moved to Johannesburg in 1982 and began working as a professional photographer at the age of 25. Nunn became one of the prominent photographers to document apartheid resistance in the 1980s. He went on to co-found Afrapix, a photographic collective that supplied newspapers outside South Africa with images of apartheid, with Paul Weinberg, Peter Mackenzie and Omar Badsha. He served as the director for Market Photo Workshop, a photography school, gallery, and project space in Johannesburg, from 1998 to 2000. Nunn was also a member of the national executive of the Professional Photographers of South Africa (PPSA). Nunn has worked for many nonprofits, newspapers, wire agencies, PR companies, and magazines. He has taught at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, the University of the Witwatersrand Wits School of Arts, and The School for International Training.
