Coenraad Torlage is currently completing his Honours in Visual Communication at the Stellenbosch Academy of Design and Photography. His series Young Farmers won the Sony World Photography Awards Student Competition in 2021.  This body of work has expanded into The Land Project and contributed to getting him published in the Royal Photographic Society as one of the top photographic graduates globally. When speaking about his work, Coenraad explains "I am using photography to learn about the people and places that surround me. I hope to capture the nuances of South African lives that have a strong connection to the land".
