The Human's Narrative
South Africa
Приєднався 28 січ 2009
Armand Hough. Through my eyes. I am interested in telling the difficult stories. I feel that I can tell more authentic stories through photojournalism. For me, it was the purest and rawest form of storytelling. I have worked as a stringer for various news agencies in areas torn apart by wars and natural disasters. I always try to portray the unfiltered truth through my stories and images, even though it might upset my audience. I try to use the power of photography to open the viewers’ eyes to what is happening around them. To tell the most sincere stories, you must involve yourself and become part of the situation. Every story I cover affects me. Sometimes my heart does break, but other times my heart is filled with joy when I find stories about people's happiness.

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 Electric G-Wagen does a G-Turn
The famous Geländewagen has gone electric and I had the amazing opportunity to drive a few of them and make this short film in Cape Town, South Africa. The all-new 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology is just fantastic. The G580 combines G-Wagen styling and driving experience with EV efficiency and performance. A full charge will take just over 30 minutes, and that will last you a distance of 450km, not in eco mode. Amongst the impressive features is the G-Turn. A 360º ‘Tank Turn’ is made possible with its 4 individually controlled motors, positioned near the wheels. 2 in each dedicated housing at the front and rear axles. According to Mercedes-Benz, these motors are integrated into the modified ladder-frame chassis and develop peak outputs of 432 kW and 1164 Nm of torque, carrying this 3 ton luxury SUV from 0-100 in just 4.7 seconds.

Lost in Lamu

Our destination was a small island on the East African coast of Kenya named Lamu. A place that takes you back in time, where fishing and trading are still the daily customs, where donkeys and dhows are the most common form of transport, and where the pillars of society are still religion and tradition. With a well documented history that dates back more than seven centuries, Lamu Old Town is th...

One Day in Istanbul

Istanbul takes its name from the Greek phrase “στην Πόλι” (stim poli) meaning “in the city”. This was my second visit to this enchanting junction, and it will not be my last. About 15 years ago, I made an unplanned sojourn in Istanbul en route from the Middle East to Europe.

Ryan Stramrood's 100th Robben Island Swim
There's video where people literally stand and eat outside in the rain and cold they can't even drink or eat inside 😢
How can the city of cape town go to court to evict this people but treat the people like thrash in the so called safe spaces,people are not allowed to move freely,people are not allowed to it inside dorms,they not allowed to eat after 10pm or go for a cigarette smoke break,
Nice country 😂😂😂
Nicely done :)
Toe drag. Don’t count…
Private shud only be for paid customers on their property
Law and order has broken down in lots of areas in South Africa, thus private companies are filling the void, the police are the ones allowing this behavior due too bring understaffed
U mean South African private security manage communities? What the Heck? Abuse of power loading
Adaptive skating is proof of how reliant we can be as humans! That’s putting it all on the line! I’d be honored to sponsor such a badass
Huge inspiration ❤️

Why has my country become so lawless I left 23 years ago always go back at least every 2 years but sadly now I don't because I feel unsafe when I'm there.
It's lawless in some areas, been here my whole life and nothing has happened to me at all. I can walk safely at night, leave my apartment unlocked and car
