ABOUT

Finding Inspiration Creative Talks

The Ladder Art Studio, is hosting a series of intimate talks with established artists from various disciplines to share knowledge and personal journeys to motivate, connect and uplift other aspiring creatives.


Episode 1 Dan Carter  

Our debut presentation will host established Photographer Dan Carter, who will share his personal journey as a socially conscious photographer. His work is deeply rooted in the African Continent with a drive to tell the story of others through powerful imagery.


My greatest goal is that through my work, I can tell a new story and begin to change the narrative. There is so much beauty and diversity across South Africa and a whole lot more untapped creativity. There is a desperate need to change perspectives and challenge a lot of stigmas. I think it’s really important to remember that whether or not you are a photographer, we are all storytellers and we have to be really careful how we use our voices. We have the privilege to tell stories but even more importantly, a responsibility to play a part in changing stories. Photography has become an outlet to share hope, light and to give someone a voice. -Dan Carter
