My photography journey started in Easter of the year 2000 when I bought my first proper camera, an entry level Nikon F60 SLR. Through many (many!) rolls of various films I slowly began to understand the picture taking process and before too long I had several Nikon SLR cameras and lenses, including the famed flagship F5 model.

Going Digital

In 2002 I went digital and committed the abominable act of moving across to the Canon platform by “investing” in a Canon D30 Digital SLR, along with some less than choice lenses. For the next few years I explored the photography world digitally (eventually going back to the Nikon platform in 2005), shooting semi-professionally for various clients. At this time I was very interested in sports photography and I obtained accreditation from the Natal Rugby Union to photograph The Sharks at Kings Park Stadium. I covered most of the home games between 2003-2006. I also gained accreditation from the FIA in 2006 and covered the three years that the A1GP racing series was hosted in Durban, my photos (including the cover) being published in the Metro Beat magazine run by the city of Durban and distributed to hundreds of thousands of homes.

Going Professional

In 2008 I made the move to being a full time professional photographer and for the first few years I focussed on covering corporate events, with some highlights including major international conferences in Durban, such as ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers), UNIDO (United Nations Development Organisation) and AIMS (international marathon organisation).

Slowly I began to move into more specialised work, such as product photography and my eventual preferred genre of property and architectural photography. One of my most prestigious assignments was to photograph a home in the Hawaan Estate in Umhlanga for the New York Times property magazine in 2019. My work has also appeared in local architecture magazines.

These days my primary focus is on producing images for the short term letting, interior design and real estate markets, which is what you’ll find me offering on this website.

Moving To New York

Due to socio-political turmoil in my home country of South Africa I have been afforded the opportunity of resettling in the USA and have gone through a rigorous vetting process with USCIS. After approval their agencies placed me and my family here in Syracuse, New York, which is the place I will be calling home for the time being. So far I love it here, although I may have a different tale to tell once the Syracuse winter shows me what cold is all about (I am used to a sub-tropical climate!).

I hope to eventually be able to provide the same services here as I did back in South Africa, including drone imagery, Matterport and videos. For now I am only offering stills.
