Decolonization during the 1960s often resulted in the mass emigration of European-descended settlers out of Africa — especially from Algeria, Angola, Kenya and Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). However, in South Africa and Namibia, the white minority remained politically dominant after independence from Europe, and a significant population of white Africans remained in these two countries even after democracy was finally instituted at the end of the Cold War. South Africa has ... become the preferred destination of white Anglo-Zimbabweans, and of migrants from all over southern Africa.

Photography reached southern Africa originally via the Indian Ocean, later than other colonial outposts like Australia and India. Jules Léger from Mauritius opened the first studio in Port Elizabeth in 1846. Though some experimentation took place, the dominant photographic modes soon became commercial daguerreotype portraiture and cartes de visite for European colonial consumption.
