City Baked
Last week I went alongside Baked the Blog to a Luxottica event in town at the most beautiful rooftop location. The event was one of the best I have attended and for the first time ever they were interested in myself as the photographer. What they realised was that I was the one who was going…
Take it Personally

Here are a few of my favourite personal shoots I have done, there are tons more to follow in the near future: Matric Dance dress shoots……
Candy
“Candy” is a shoot I did for a makeup artist that goes by the name “Eye Candy Makeup”, she wanted something very different for her website and so we collaborated with Angies Attic in Sea Point and Cillicious Bakery to create this shoot.

Colouring Outside the Lines

Mythology of Colour
This was the shoot that created my love for fashion photography. I photographed this shoot in the beginning of my final year of college and from then on, fashion was all I photographed. This shoot was also the start of a long photographic relationship with Lisa Harrison, a great model who I often work with…

The clothing and styling was done by Kate Maclennan, makeup by Helen Becker of MAC and the model was the talented, Leah Wicks. A recent chat to a friend reminded me…
90’s Suburbia
I love the shoot I did with Gabi from The Dollhouse Collection titled “90’s Suburbia“. This story was about a bored, rich teenager in the 90’s causing trouble in her hood as Gabi would say- “a bad-ass bitch”. Our model, Courtney, was absolutely amazing! Her make up was done by Megan Moses…
