Born in 1963 in London, Mike Hutchings grew up in various countries around Africa, before finishing basic schooling in South Africa in 1980. His earliest memory of photography is a Kodak instamatic camera that his sister had when he was about 5 years old. He borrowed it and went to a game park, where he shot some "terrible" pictures of the animals and his friends.

Lloyd Spencer was born in South Africa in 1955. As a teenager, he had developed and printed his own medium format photos using his father's antique cameras as well as his dad’s kitchen (or bathroom) darkroom. Lloyd's serious pursuit of street and documentary photography began at the beginning of the 1980s during the years in which he was a post-graduate in Germany studying Walter Benjamin, who inspired John Berger’s extraordinary TV-series Ways of Seeing. During this time Spencer had the privilege of working on Another Way of Telling with Jean Mohr and John Berger.
