Photograph overview

Pictured:
A scene from the Knysna Woodcutters Series. Further information about the individuals and setting pictured is available on request.
The photograph forms part of a series concerned with the people, working lives and environment associated with Knysna’s woodcutting community. Without an accompanying image, more specific details about the composition, viewpoint, gesture and light cannot be confirmed.
The Knysna setting places the work within a distinct South African social and environmental context. The series title connects the photograph to a community and occupation with a long association with the forests surrounding the town.
Pierre Crocquet was a South African photographer whose work included sustained documentary projects focused on people, communities and lived experience. The Knysna Woodcutters Series reflects this interest in creating structured photographic records of particular places and social histories.
For collectors, this work is distinguished by its substantial scale, traditional darkroom production and signature on the verso. The hand-printed silver gelatin process, carried out by Dennis Da Silva on baryta paper, gives the print a strong material presence and makes it suitable for collections of South African documentary and black-and-white photography.
