Sing with Annie Lennox or experience President Barack Obama as if we’ve met him? \nThere is a world out there many of us will only ever view from a distance and yet what happens in the world is important to us because it affects our attitudes\, how we lead and who we inspire… \nFor over 22 years documentary photographer Matthew Willman has been out there working with those who in our time chose to lead and those who exist on the periphery of society. \nIn Willmans exciting new talk we have the opportunity to embark on a remarkable journey through enigmatic images and the power of story telling. \nAll of us seek improvement\, all of us seek to be inspired so that on our best day we can all stand a little taller and be a little bigger. \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n Book HERE\nClick on "Select Options" below to choose your booking options.\nR250.00 – R420.00Price range: R250.00 through R420.00BOOK NOW \n This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product page \n \n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n Guest Speaker: Matthew Willman\nMatthew Willman is a South African based documentary photographer\, author and public speaker. Willman has emerged as one of South Africa’s leading\, young\, independent artists in visual communication and heritage art. He has expressed himself through an extraordinary body of work which includes writing\, storytelling and photographic exhibitions. \nWillman has gained over 22 years’ experience working for some of the world’s foremost institutions in the field of visual communication\, development\, visual arts and leadership. A true global citizen\, Willman has worked in 42 countries tailoring his inventive brand of communication to the needs of an array of clients which have included: Oxfam International\, The World Health Organisation\, The Nelson Mandela Foundation\, The Bill Clinton Presidential Library\, The Vodafone Foundation\, The National Underground Railroad Freedom Centre\, Robben Island Museum and The European Commission. \nIn 2019 Willman narrated and produced a short film documentary on the life Nelson Mandela which was nominated and won an Emmy award in the USA. \nWillman has had the pleasure of being commissioned to photograph individuals from a cross-section of the global community. Private commissions include: US Presidents Barack Obama & President Bill Clinton\, 6 South African Presidents\, Former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan\, Archbishop Desmond Tutu\, and Annie Lennox. Others include 22 Presidents\, 12 Nobel Peace Prize Laureates and a host of sports personalities\, musicians\, politicians and philanthropists. \nPerhaps one of Willman’s greatest achievements was his significant contribution to the recording of the process of South Africa’s democratic change. This occurred both in his work as a commissioned photographer to the Nelson Mandela Foundation and through ten years working with Mr Mandela himself.  In 2003 Matthew was commissioned to archive and document the life and times of Nelson Mandela for the Nelson Mandela Foundation. Over the years this afforded him many incredibly many intimate experiences with a man who for Willman embodies the very spirit and conviction we all possess as South Africans. His collection of work is now central to the Mandela Centre of Memory & Presidential Library in Johannesburg.
