Who am I……
Who am I ………………………….
I have grown up through the many changing visions of the rainbow nation of South Africa. I am a son, a father, a husband, friend and creative soul who is inspired by the true beauty that surrounds me. I enjoy many different genres of photography but am passionate about Wildlife and Landscape Imagery. I enjoy the best that my home country , South Africa has to offer with the ever changing landscapes and amazing wildlife thats presents itself .From the Kalahari desert, shores of the mighty Indian Ocean to the dense African bush comes my inspiration.I strive to create new and unique views of our natural world through my lens……………………….
I feel a unique link to each image that I create and capture .Overtime I enjoy revisiting my library of images to re-inforce those connections and relive that moment where ever I was………….The awesome nature of this feeling is what continues to inspire me to capture the world through my lens, one frame at a time. Not only do my own images motivate me to continue to shoot , but the awesome photographers I am proud to call my friends that share there creations daily with me. I have posted links to some of there home pages and portfolio on my “words ” page.
I enjoy sharing my photographic work with people from all walks of life who have a true appreciation for our natural world and enjoy the unique relationships that it forms.My images are a reflection of emotions and feelings that the moment captured reflects. I started with film cameras in the late 80′s and went ‘digital’ in early 2006 and have been enjoying every minute of this awesome format !
I am very proud of the following recognition I have received during my photographic journey.
