Piecing together the world with photographer @alexiawebster

“Photography has been a way of representing and documenting not just the world around me, but also a way of capturing the world we dream and imagine — the world inside ourselves,” says Alexia Webster (@alexiawebster), a Johannesburg-born photojournalist who now lives in Cape Town.

Alexia’s path to photography came via her mom, social historian Luli Callinicos, who writes about the neglected history of the apartheid-era working class. “I would spend hours looking through her vast collection of historical photos, imagining that world, piecing together the story of my city and my country,” says Alexia. “When I turned 16, she bought me a camera and I began piecing together the world with my own images.”

Alexia travels around the African continent and beyond, on assignments and for personal projects. “The images in my feed are like scribbles in a notebook or fragments of a journal about my life and my travels,” she says. “I capture the things around me that move and intrigue me, the bits of magic I encounter on my journeys.”
