biped with an insatiable curiosity...

I began my photography career in 2003 as an unofficial photojournalist for the United Nations during my time/service with them in the Democratic Republic of Congo from 2003-2006, recording the UN involvement, genocide, conflict of war and other events there.

Since returning to South Africa I have followed a more natural progression with landscapes, children & family portfolios, weddings, sporting events, wildlife etc. Although I still kept in touch with the photo journo side as an occasional freelance photographer for local and national newspapers.

I have also received offers from small galleries in London and New York to showcase occasional prints of my work, however I declined as my involvement with photography at that time was more of a passion and not for commercial gain.

I recently won my first national photography competition for the Shell Select National “Best Driving Road” Online Competition. Results were posted in You, Huisgenoot and Drum magazines, (last issue July 2009).

I also use reputable high-end equipment from Nikon and Canon, so the quality of my work is reflected as such. However, as Ken Rockwell once said; ”Maybe because it’s entirely an artist’s eye, patience and skill that makes an image, and not his tools.” Thus, I believe my passion for photography and the huge rewards gained from capturing and showcasing images that inspire emotion, is what drives me.
