I met up with top makeup artist, Kimlyn Sisam, to shoot a concept we had been wanting to capture for some time now. Kimlyn used gold glitter to capture a warm, etherial autumn look and I knew exactly where I wanted to shoot it. Our location was extremely random but it was absolutely perfect! Below…
How to be photo-ready in 28 days : Kiehl’s High 5 Range
As a photographer, I work with all different skin types – dry, oily, pigmented, perfect, smooth, combination -the list goes on. I have huge respect for the talented makeup artists I work with who know exactly what to cover and what to highlight. Once the flawless makeup has been done, I then capture the concept…
Thigh high with @rawexplosions
I photographed this awesome outfit for Raw explosions Blog this month. We shot on a tennis court to create a sports luxe feel. I decided to shoot through the court fence as it created a sense of texture and layering to the images. I love how the fence complimented the sexy thigh high boots, it…
Simone and Charlton’s Nooitgedacht Wedding
Venue: The couple had their weekday wedding on a warm Friday afternoon at Nooitgedacht Wine Estate in Stellenbosch. I visited the venue 2 weeks before to have a look at the lighting and shoot locations and was very excited for the day to begin as there are tons of beautiful places to photograph the bride…
Floral Fashion
If you follow me on Instagram, Facebook or twitter, you may be aware that I have recently arrived home from a short holiday in Singapore and Phuket. Arriving home in the Mother City was a shock after leaving a humid 39 degrees city and stepping out into a chilly 12 degrees during midday. This temperature change…
@rawexplosions #OOTD
Simone from Raw Explosions Blog wrote a lovely piece on this look here where she explained her love for caps as well as conceptualizing a shoot and pushing her boundaries creatively. I love how honest her blog posts are, especially in her recent one where she reveals that she is not a tennis player, but wanted to…
@baileyschneider in Olive Green #OOTD
Bailey and I photographed this warm, olive outfit this week. I chose a dark reflective background to enhance her look and decided to shoot through a few shrubs to add a green blur to some of the images. This outfit was effortless yet interesting to photograph with its layered back detail. Bailey dressed it up…
@mo_rameez #OOTD
Rameez and I met for our first outfit shoot on a misty, cold Monday morning. Some would consider postponing, but we saw this as a blessing. The effect that the mist gave in this story was absolutely stunning. You would never have thought we were shooting above Cape Town – expecting a city back drop…
@throughshadedeyes – Falling Leaves
Autumn is one of my favourite seasons to shoot. The light is soft, the leaves are bright oranges, reds and browns, the clothing is layered and textured and the air is still warm enough to allow us to shoot outdoors easily. The details in this outfit made the shoot. The textures and patterns against the blurred…
Behind the scenes – Night Mustang Shoot
I wouldn’t call myself a car photographer. There is a lot more to car photography that meets the eye and it takes a special person to be able to photograph a car – a huge lighting set up for those perfect studio catalog shoots highlighting exactly what needs to be highlighted and years of practice…
@BaileySchneider #OOTD photoshoot
Bailey and I shot this look on a chilly weekday morning. I loved the gloomy clouds that created a soft light for us to shoot in. Her look was natural and minimal just like our location and it all worked perfectly together. When I begin shooting with a new client, we always shoot straight forward,…
