Film photography being my first love , I borrowed a Canon EOS 300 SLR from a colleague at the time, wildlife photographer Leigh Kemp, and enrolled at the Cape Town School of Photography for their Practical Photography course.

My reason for joining was: "I want to learn how to take the perfect picture!" Apparently this was accomplished within the first lesson. Still, I wasn't totally satisfied and continued to complete various other courses through the school including Flash Photography, Hardcore Photography and Studio Lighting. I continued my "studies" by attending a 3-day intensive Wedding Photography Workshop with fashion and wedding photographer, Brett Florens.

Capturing human nature is my strength. I see beauty in simplicity, sincerity and the sensitivity of mankind. As a realist, of course, I capture the flipside of the coin too.

I enjoy documenting an event or a destination, focusing on detail. This often takes me off the beaten track during my travels and usually leads to the inspiration of the travel stories I write.

My personal great love is the performing arts and more specifically, live music - from an intimate cabaret affair to hardcore rock. Having the ability to feel the music, I am able to anticipate the artist's next move in so doing, capture the moment, to the delight of the artist and of course mine.

My photographic style is a fusion of documentary photography, photo journalism and the decisive moment.

I am always in search of the "perfect" image. Sometimes this drives me to the limits of my sanity as my vision of what I want to accomplish will keep me waiting for hours, for that one, perfect shot.

The gist: My versatility, my passion and my drive for perfection makes me good at what I do.

I hope that you will take the time to browse through my portfolio and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Warm Regards
