Summary: Many iconic images by Jürgen Schadeberg (b. 1931 in Berlin) have gone down in history. The young photographer emigrated to South Africa in 1950. He worked for Drum, the first magazine for black readers; later he worked for Life and Stern magazines. In the early fifties he did portraits of young attorney Nelson Mandela and singer Miriam Makeba and documented the wild night life in Sophiatown, a dynamic black neighbourhood in Johannesburg. In 1964 when it became increasingly difficult to take pictures, Schadeberg left the country and spent the next decades in Europe and the United States. In 1985 Schadeberg returned to South Africa and in 1994 shot yet another photo that was distributed around the world: Nelson Mandela, the first black president of South Africa, at the window of his former prison cell on Robben Island
