On Saturday the 2nd March 2013 CCI held their annual awards evening at the ICC, Durban. CCI is a call-centre with a marked difference- the way their employees are treated. CCI has one of the most vibrant work environments of any company I have come across, with regular events held throughout their year and a giving-back and caring policy adopted by the company heads. This night … [Read more...]
It’s always great to get referral shoots, as was the case with Craig and Tash’s wedding on Saturday. It’s obviously good for business, but it’s also great to see familiar friendly faces among the guests. When I met with the couple on Friday, the weather was still a little ominous but we needn’t have worried – Saturday produced a glorious day. The late afternoon … [Read more...]
Wow. This was my first time being in the Moses Mabhida Stadium during a soccer game and the experience was incredible. You can hear the sounds of crowds and vuvuzelas before you even enter the stadium (in fact, from quite some way up the road!) and once inside the fervour of the crowds is infectious. The atmosphere inside the stadium is something one simply has to … [Read more...]

Isicathamiya: Derived from the Zulu verb -cathama, which means walking softly, or tread carefully, Isicathamiya is a singing style originating from South African Zulu migrant workers incorporating harmonious singing with tightly-choreographed dance moves. This genre is fore-fronted by popular artists such as Ladysmith Black Mambazo. For me, this was my first encounter … [Read more...]

There were the favourite witches, pirates, star wars characters, cowboys and many other creative characters. The cat-in-the-hat, the Thomson and Thompson detectives from Tintin, the Mad Hatter stood out for … [Read more...]
Shooting a concert has got to be one of the most rewarding things a photographer can photograph! I mean you are shooting in such harsh lighting conditions, with bright lights to deep blacks. It's the balance between the two that is just so satisfying. I had the privilege of shooting the Durban leg of Avicii's SA tour, which brought a few thousand people to the Wavehouse. The … [Read more...]
I was looking forward to Theo and Navasha's wedding at Fairmont Zimbali as it is such a beautiful venue even though the red tape to get in can be frustrating and if you are someone who likes speed humps then you will think you have gone to Speed Hump Heaven. The day started with Theo getting ready and having some photographs done with his friends and I always marvel at the … [Read more...]
I wasn't sure what to expect as my brief was to capture the important moments in Forest Day 5 at The Olive Convention Centre in Durban and in particularly with regarding to Eduardo Rojas-Briales who is the Assistant Director-General of the Forestry Department in the FAO. I was quite interested in some of the speeches especially the ones by Bob Scholes from South Africa and … [Read more...]
Nothing beats a live performance especially from young children who just show their enthusiasm and energy without any hangups. The Rising Star Academy had their end of year performance, Galaxy Rock, at The Seabrooke's Theatre at Durban High School and wow what a show. The talent on show was quite amazing and everyone did extremely well and got everyone up on their feet … [Read more...]
