Hi, I am an adventure, lifestyle and food photographer based in Cape Town, South Africa.

I enjoy shooting my work on digital and film format. We all need to stay current when it comes to the photography industry, but I still really like the feel you get from shooting film and the discipline it teaches you.

I love planning new adventures, discovering new faces, places and food. I have traveled to about 25 countries working as a professional photographer since 2008 and would like to add more adventures to the list. Anything from sailing around the world or overland adventures through Africa.  

Going places I haven’t been and working with new and like minded people is where I feel most inspired. I find inspiration in the unexplored. Always eager to work with new people to create something unique.

I have learned from some amazing photographers, Jac de Villiers, Michael Ellis, John Cottam, Craig Fraser, in Cape Town through my years of assisting and I am now applying those skills to my work. I believe that you learn new skills and knowledge every day and I will keep using them to better every project I have the opportunity to work on.
