Hey, I am Gus!
Hey, I am Gus van der Walt, a 37 year old photographer currently in Cape Town, South Africa. I have been taking photos for the last 13 years. The last seven years have largely been focused on Street Photography.
A passion for capturing authentic moments
At The Streets Photographed, I specialize in preserving the raw essence of street life. Through compelling images, we freeze moments in time, capturing life’s stories in their most authentic form.
Storytelling through photography
Our mission is to stay true to the art of unposed and genuine storytelling. In a world increasingly influenced by AI and superficiality, we prioritize authenticity over trends or fame, showcasing the reality of the streets as it unfolds.

“…out on the city streets, everything you encounter is alien and unknown. That’s what taking snapshot photographs of the city streets is: you’re capturing the alien and unknown.”
