The young photographer went to South Africa in 1950 to work for \u003cI style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\"\u003eDrum,\u003c\/I\u003e the first magazine for black readers; later, he worked for \u003cI style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\"\u003eLife\u003c\/I\u003e and \u003cI style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\"\u003eStern\u003c\/I\u003e magazines. In the early fifties, he did portraits of young attorney Nelson Mandela and singer Miriam Makeba, and documented the wild nightlife in Sophiatown, a dynamic black neighborhood in Johannesburg. Revealing the great poverty endured by most of the black population ultimately became his chief focus. In 1964, when \u003cI style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\"\u003eDrum\u003c\/I\u003e was banned, Schadeberg left the country and spent the next decades in Europe and the United States, photographing people in ordinary circumstances, without ever resorting to stereotyping them or depriving them of their dignity.\u003cBR\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003eSchadeberg returned to South Africa in 1985, and in 1994 he 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.
