Description: | Select Guide Rating Billy Monk worked as a bouncer in the notorious Catacombs club in the dock area of Cape Town, South Africa, during the 1960s. He originally began taking pictures in the club with the intention of selling the photos to his customers - the people he was photographing. But this scheme turned into something far more vital as he captured the raw energy of the club, its decadence, humanity and joy. These are powerful, poignant photos from a cult photographer whose work has never previously been published. |
