Arthelia is an independent art blog born from a deep love for South Africa's extraordinary landscapes and the photographers who capture them. Based in Johannesburg, we share stories that celebrate the raw beauty of this remarkable land.
From the misty peaks of the Drakensberg to the endless red dunes of the Kalahari, from the vibrant streets of Cape Town to the untamed wilderness of Kruger — every corner of South Africa holds a story waiting to be told through images.

"Africa changes you forever. The colors, the light, the people, the danger — it's all there. And you'll never be the same."— Brian Jackman
Our Mission
Preserving moments, sharing wonder
We believe that photography is more than capturing an image — it's about preserving a feeling, a moment in time that speaks to the soul. Through Arthelia, we aim to inspire appreciation for South Africa's natural heritage and the importance of conservation.
Whether you're a seasoned photographer, a nature enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates beautiful imagery, Arthelia is your window into the visual poetry of Southern Africa.
