Jordan Sweke is a young South African photographer based in Cape Town.

The thing I love about his work is the sense of freedom in his subjects and their connection to the earth; anybody who has had the privilege of traveling to the natural areas along the coast of the Western Cape should be familiar with the pull of the environment, the desire to just run around naked and soak it all in.

I got to sit down with him this week and I hope that this will lead to many more connections to young South African artists.

Make sure to follow him on tumblr (and give South Africa some love).
