David Goldblatt photographed and documented South African society for more than fifty years. Of Lithuanian Jewish heritage, Goldblatt was born in Randfontein. He began photographing professionally in the early 1960s, focusing on the effects of the National Party’s legislation of apartheid.

Goldblatt received the Hasselblad Photography Award (2006) and the Henri-Cartier Bresson Award (2009).
