I have wanted to shoot with Chiano for quite some time and was excited for our Cape Town collaboration while she visited the city on holiday. Because she was taking time off work, and our concept was spontaneous; I thought I would treat us to an adventure with butterflies and capture our time there rather…

Yulia
Last week I photographed Yulia. She had never modeled before and did an amazing job as she arrived to the shoot with a strong idea of poses – it makes a huge difference when models/clients do their homework. The first part of the shoot was based on a little bridge in Cape Town, one that…
8 tips for great photos
I recently lost my phone to an unfortunate run-in with brake fluid in my car. I spent some quiet time off social media with a basic phone while I waited for my new one. While waiting for my new replacement I came across the HTC One M8. A phone with a camera is everything to me…
Chevaun & Justin’s Engagement
I photographed this engagement shoot as a pre-wedding test to get the couple comfortable in front of the camera as well as for images for their invitations.

Valentine
Aisha and I seem to be on the same page when it comes to Valentines Day and opted for something a little less cliche than the obvious red hues, hearts and chocolates. Now, we all know Valentines Day is NOT the same without roses so we decided to include them in our location rather than…

Winter Beauty
Before I left for Port Elizabeth I photographed Clare’s portfolio shoot. We had a stunning stable-like location, a little different to what was expected but I think it resulted in some amazing images. Jane Banks styled the shoot with items from Portobello Road (a must see in Kenilworth main road) and Kirsti van Zyl did…

Her clothing can be bought online via her facebook page Georgie Rattle Clothing. Georgie organised our model, Mia A, who was a friend and model from Boss Models. Our makeup…
