Some friends of mine, Ciske and Tinus, were keen to come up with me to the cocktail bar on top of the Roma Revolving building. I think on Tinus's part, the lure of the bar may have been more of a driving force than the view! However the area is only open on a Friday and Saturday to patrons and we had to content ourselves with some magnificent scenery instead. The view from … [Read more...]
I discovered that a friend of mine, Sempre, had two little kittens and that was that. I could not be kept away! So we got together and did a shoot on Wednesday in studio. It was the perfect antidote to the freezing temperature and grey skies outside. Our agenda was to get some different portraits and we had a whole lot of fantastical ideas in mind. However we soon discovered … [Read more...]
I take for granted the job of the car guards down at the beach front area in Durban. I, along with many surfers, cyclists, runners, etc, just pitch up at the beach and dash off to go for a surf leaving my car keys with the car guards without giving it another thought. This can be from 4:30am or 6pm and they are always there. I have not had any incidents since they took … [Read more...]
Over the past few weeks I've been busy doing shoots with models, and have finally had a moment to sit down and blog about it. First up we have Jessica Shuttleworth and Duncan Meyer, of S.I.D Photography fame. Jess was absolutely amazing to work with and I was very happy with how the shoot went. Duncan wanted in on a few photos so he could practice his modeling (I'm kidding) and … [Read more...]
When I asked Mike if I could come along to photograph the 2013 Dusi Canoe marathon, I expected a few rapids, an occasional over-turned boat and some tired, sun-beaten faces. However, what I encountered was much more extreme and left me deeply impressed with everybody who even attempts to conquer this race. The Dusi runs from Pietermaritzburg to Durban over the course of three … [Read more...]
Here is the second installment of my experiences on the People Mover. Enjoy it I know I did. … [Read more...]
I have wanted to spend some time documenting the experiences on the People Mover's for sometime especially after the kids have loved the rides in the past. They are always pestering us to catch the bus, which makes sense since they never grew up like myself catching buses to and from school. For them it is something new. I was impressed with the level of service, from the … [Read more...]
You can only stare at a computer for so long so I escaped the comforts of the air conditioned office to go and capture some daily happenings in Durban's city centre. It is always a challenge to try and find something new and not to photograph the same scene as before so with that in mind I took these: … [Read more...]
On Monday I was sitting in the office, browsing through Jacki Bruniquel's amazing imagery on her blog, when I decided that I had been sitting long enough and needed to go shoot something. So after a day of pondering around deciding what to do, I approached Churchill house. Often I wander up to the Antique Cafe during my lunchbreak and admire the incredible decor over one of … [Read more...]
I set my alarm for 3:20am this morning to get up to go do a sunrise shoot and made sure that I went to bed early(sounding old already). I was so apprehensive about not hearing my alarm on my watch that I kept waking every hour to check the time so by the time it went off I was quite relieved, that I hadn't missed it, but also tired as anything. I rushed off to meet the … [Read more...]
This was a wedding where all my experience was needed. It started off with dodgy to fine weather but half way through the service it … View >>
