About me

With more than a decade of experience as a professional photographer and business owner and having only recently moved to the UK from South Africa I am currently looking for my next fulfilling challenge. Due to a computer being lost in my relocation, my current portfolio is a little thin. I am however working on it all the time and can often reverse engineer images to prove my skill and experience.

I often say that I am a photographer that has a vast and balanced experience in a wide variety of photographic fields. With a good understanding of all photographic disciplines, I am equally at home inside a purpose built studio where I can set up and control my own lighting or on location and even hanging from an abseil rope thousands of feet above the ground. I am skilled in conventional photography, 3D modeling and 360 x 360 degree imaging. I also have reasonable experience in DSLR videography.

My most often used software includes: Photoshop, Indesgn, Capture One, Camera RAW and Lightroom as well as Final Cut Pro and After Effects.

My current kit list includes:

Canon 5D Mark II

mm L

IS L

F2.8 IS L

IS L

100mm Macro

3 x 580 EX Speed lights

Strobe lights

Continuous lights

Backdrops and stands

I have already applied my skills and abilities to some of the largest and most prestigious hotel groups, international aviation companies and extreme sports events, adventures and activities. As well as having imaged some of the more unusual environments, from the deepest canyons and caves to the highest pubs, mountains and peaks and the absolute top end of products, fashion and real estate.
