the heart of an artist - the eye of a storyteller

My work is a blend of artistry and precision, shaped by over 22 years of dedication to photography. I strive to capture moments with a depth and clarity that invites viewers to engage deeply with each image.

Drawing on my background as a Visual Journalist, Social Anthropologist, and Depth Psychologist, I approach photography with a nuanced understanding of both the subject and the environment. My process is guided by a balance of careful observation and heartfelt storytelling, aiming to create images that are both intimate and impactful.

My experience spans global projects and collaborations with innovative brands, as well as documenting the journeys of emerging startups. My fine art photography has been featured in international exhibitions, from Rotterdam and Milan to solo shows in South Africa, each showcasing my commitment to quality and narrative.

From the vibrant streets of New York to the serene landscapes of Zanzibar, my work in documentary, street, and urban landscape photography captures a rich tapestry of human experience and environment. Working with me means engaging with a photographer who blends technical skill with a genuine passion for storytelling, delivering images that offer both beauty and insight.
