My journey began in the dusty town of Klerksdorp, South Africa. At the age of six, the sighting of Haley’s Comet sparked my lifelong curiosity and wonder about the world. Looking back, I think the realisation that it would only return decades later, instilled in me a profound sense of time and the importance of being in the moment.

Raised by farming parents, my life took a transformative turn when my mother decided to move us from Klerksdorp to the vibrant city of Cape Town. That 19-hour drive in a Volkswagen Beetle was more than a change of scenery; it opened my eyes to a world of opportunity and diversity.

Cape Town, known for its stunning landscapes and thriving film industry, became my home and inspiration. This city, with its incredible filmmaking community, paved the way for my career in the industry, where I spent more than two decades working on 35 Hollywood feature films. My passion for the craft led me to build a successful film location services business in the UAE, where I continued to hone my skills and expand my creative horizons.

Portrait photography challenges me, pushing me towards the metaphorical flame. My film career is the backbone of photography. It shapes the way I think and approach each subject. Film primed me for understanding light, working with people under pressure, and developing a creative vision and voice. I strive to give my clients the best possible experience along with an incredible collection of images.

My cultural identity is deeply rooted in my South African heritage, and the triumphs of the Springboks as four-time World Champions resonate with my sense of pride and connection to my roots. Now based in Vienna, Austria, I carry the spirit of South Africa with me. The land and its people continue to influence my work and personal philosophy.

I look forward to capturing your story.
