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...]
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...]

Movement of staff is just as inevitable as individuals need space to grow in new directions. So this is the story of a young man looking to fulfill his potential using his grounding at Ocean driven as … [Read more...]
While staying in George, I stumbled across a brochure for Tenikwa Wildlife Awareness Centre and saw a name I'd not seen in a while - Mandy Freeman. So I got in touch in touch with her and went through to Tenikwa over the weekend for an incredible experience. Just outside of Plettenburg Bay on the beautiful Garden Route, Mandy and Len have setup a beautiful sanctuary … [Read more...]
The Comrades Marathon is widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest ultra marathon and draws hopeful candidates from across the world to compete.

Since Debbie was out from Singapore for a month, she wanted to get the family together for a photoshoot so that she could take some stunning pictures back with her. So we all got together at Botanic Gardens on Sunday for an afternoon of tree climbing and wandering around the beautiful gardens.

Whenever I'm getting ready to shoot a beach wedding, WindGuru is consulted on a daily basis in the lead up to the big day. This was no exception and the forecast was sunshine, but with unseasonal wind. Steph and Malena had already been married in Argentina so this day was a blessing celebration with local family and friends. There were some delays as family coming from … [Read more...]
The KZN Midlands is always beautiful and shooting a wedding there is a pleasure, especially for a couple as lovely as these two. The weather on the day was great even though a little windy and Crab Apple is a really wonderful venue. I could sense the nerves as Adam kept wiping his brow while he was getting dressed. Amy, on the other hand, seemed totally relaxed as everyone … [Read more...]
I thank God for days like these. The day dawned with the Queen Mary II steaming in over an hour early under a sultry sky. Then the sky lit up and the waves started pushing in. It's unfortunate that this bliss was interrupted by a double drowning at North Beach before the lifeguards came on duty. The sea remained unsettled as the tide pushed in but as soon as the tide turned … [Read more...]
