Superfluous Pretty is a striking 80-page collection of street photography by Derek Workman, offering an unfiltered and intimate look at the heart of Botswana’s neighbourhoods. With a particular focus on the vibrant world of tuck shops, this limited edition coffee table book captures the colour, energy, and lived-in beauty of spaces often passed over or unseen.
Through bold visuals and a deeply personal introduction, Derek documents places full of motion and meaning — shops cobbled together with whatever materials are at hand, painted in leftover colours, serving as vital hubs in communities always in transition. These images do not romanticise. Instead, they honour. Each page reflects a world where life is happening in real time, full of movement, resilience, and what he calls the “superfluous pretty” that spills out of everyday life.
