The Final Round of the Elle New Talent Photographer competition saw myself and nine other finalists from across the country getting together for a night of celebration at the Lightbox Studios in the beautiful city of Cape Town.After a meeting with the judges, the evening came to a close with the judges making their final decision on who they chose as this years best new photographer.Below are the

I entered the Elle New Talent competition that they were running for the first time this year.The first round was open for interpretation and I decided to do a studio shoot.Simone Zandstra did the make up and styling for me with help from Nicole van Heerden on where to look for what we needed.Our clothing came mainly from Suzaan Heyns and Simone's personal collection.This first shoot got me

Below is a picture I did for Mercedes Benz for the launch of their new C-Class in March.This particular photo was done for in store promotional material for a special series of C-Class being launched in conjunction with the World Cup 2010.Shooting cars is by far one of my favourite subjects, and although very tricky to get the lighting right, the results are stunning if done correctly.Thanks to

I do admit it has been ages. Pardon.Excuse the title of this post too. Not to be mistaken by a book with the same title.(Although slighlty relevant)2010 is living up to the hype thus far.For a visual update of what I have been doing I will begin in the past and work towards the present.January I did a road trip and ended up in Cape Town.The road was mesmerizing and beautiful, and

I will take myself as a prime example to kick off this discussion. I am NOT photogenic. My goodness, I have tried all sorts: The stare with small eyes; The smile - but not too much; The sex in your eyes look; The far away distant glance over camera to let the viewer believe there is deep thought and passion: all of these and...NADA. Not a single "trick in the book" works on me. I have come to

I doubt whether I would be able to ellaborate much more on the title of this post (as a matter of fact I have been trying for the last week to come up with words).In brief, the photographs below is a summary of the work I have been doing over the last few months with 3d Model Agency. All the girls except Olivia are New Faces, so this was a completely new experience to them, and I think they did

The lack of me writing on this here blog of mine at least proves one thing. I am not a liar. I did promise that I will write when I remember and this was the honest truth. I have been a bit busy, and this is not a lie either. So there. I wrote something, and I believe this is as a matter of fact the very truth as well.Have a look at the video that I attached, it is an edit done by Stef H (

Got the results back for the Levi's Search competition and I am very happy to say that I made the shortlist.There were entries from sixty photographers nationwide, so to make it into the top ten is a great honour.Thanks again to everyone that was involved on the day, and congrats to you as well.

Went into Jozi three weeks ago (a breeze compared to the Dark East) to shoot these photos as a test for the Levi's Photographer Search competition that they are running.King James (the agency for Levi's in SA) are running this particular contest and they are looking for a new photographer to do in store promo shots.The theme was youth, and everything that goes with it. My initial plan was to get

So this is an example, just a little sample, of the story behind why two and a half weeks ago there were eleven beer crates stacked underneath a bridge in Newtown. Fortunately it being Jozi, there were no more than two stares but at least twenty honks that came our way. The story is still hiding under that bridge. I need to find it.

So I suppose an explanation is needed for the photo on my first post . It wasn't a random moment captured in time, as all photographers would love to claim. As a matter of fact it was a fluke shot caught halfway between the model falling over and getting up, and me trying to convince her that balancing on her toes whilst throwing her head back, looking relaxed and tugging on some lace is actually

A very interesting read whether you are into photography or not.Just shows that the potential of photography is still a very long way off,and that the constant battles in pixel wars (photographers and designers will nod) is a losing battle.
