Dale Yudelman’s career in photography has led him through two eras of South African history as well as across several continents. Born in Johannesburg, he began photographing at a young age under the tutelage of his father and was barely out of his teens in 1979 when he landed a job as staff photographer at South Africa’s largest daily newspaper The Star. In 1986 Yudelman left South Africa – working as a freelance photographer first in London and later in Los Angeles., he returned to South Africa in 1996 and currently lives and works in Cape Town.
