Show profile Hide profileBorn in sunny South Africa in 1974, I have been playing around with cameras since I was old enough to hold one. My dad had some nice equipment that I got used to and I mostly learned from photographers around me and from being nosy.
When people find out that I am a photographer, the first question is usually: “So, you photograph weddings then?” Well... Ehmm... NO! But I was the “director of photography” at my own wedding.
One day I realized that when I was on holiday I was taking more pictures than when I was commissioned for photography. I also saw that I had a massive library of images sitting on my computer doing nothing.
Since then I started planning trips to places I liked photographing, offering my services along the way and building up a portfolio.
When returning from trips I would work through my own images and offer them as stock to some of the most prestigious agencies. I have been a Getty Images and Gallo Images contributor for years.
Although a photographer at heart, I enjoy writing and have been published in numerous magazines and newspapers in South Africa. I have an entire website dedicated to 4x4 and Overland travelling and am in the process of writing a book. www.pictureafrica.org
Apart from weddings, I photograph anything and am available for any length of project.
