Chad le Clos’s 21st Birthday

Chad le Clos's 21st013

A few weekends back, South African swimming legend Chad le Clos held his 21st at Czar's on Florida road.  Wade and I went along to photograph the event on behalf of Heat Magazine. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from Chad, but was very impressed after meeting him on his level of groundedness and how tight-knit his family are. His sister, Bianca, welcomed us into the venue … [Read more...]

One fine winter’s morning – surfing in KZN

KZN Surfing_001

It is always a gamble waking up early and heading down the coast to find some perfect waves but some days you win while others you try to forget.  I spent a few hours the night before trying to decide and eventually made a decision to just go.  I got up at 4:20am(actually woke up at 3:30am but couldn't go back to sleep in case I missed my alarm) sneaked through to the lounge … [Read more...]

Wedding shoot in the Drakensberg with Ridwaan and Aysha

Wedding Shoot in Drakensberg_R_A_004

Ridwaan and Aysha asked me if I would do their photoshoot for them on their honeymoon in the Drakensberg.  No problem.  I spent most of the day in the the car but it was worth the drive just seeing the breathtaking scenery of the berg once again.  Wow we live in s special country.  Unfortunately we picked the hottest day for the shoot along with a clear blue sky which may … [Read more...]

The winter waves of KZN

KZN Surfing_001

It's taken ages but the consistent land breezes that blow in the mornings in KZN during winter are finally here.  If I walk out the house in the morning and feel a cool, fresh breeze on my face then my surfing brain automatically kicks in and I can just imagine perfect lines rolling in on the coast, it's not always the case but the mind can play funny tricks.  The toughest … [Read more...]

Kyle Mitchell at Home – Newborn baby shoot

NewBorn Baby-Kyle_001

Kyle was born two weeks or so premature and I knew he would be small but I have forgotten just how small babies can be(you wouldn't think so after having three of our own).  Even his baby grows which were the smallest sizes were way too big.  Anthony had even bought a superman baby grow for Kyle to come home in from the hospital but as you can see in the pic it was just too … [Read more...]

Dowden Portraits at Talloula

Portraits at Talloula-Dowden_001

It is always a pleasure catching up with the Dowden family after all the weddings we have shared together.  Brad was heading back to the UK and at the last minute they all decided to have some portraits done on the day they were leaving.  Unfortunately Miller took ill the night before so it was a struggle for him, it's hard enough smiling in front of a camera on a normal day … [Read more...]

Thomas and Janine at Providence in the KZN Midlands

ProvidenceWedding_T&J_024

The weather looked promising when we left Durban on route to Providence in the KZN Midlands for Thomas and Janine's wedding, if any thing it was too hot.  Fern however gave us some warnings that the weather was going to change quite quickly in the afternoon and hoped that we would finish the photographs early before the garden festivities were abandoned but luckily it held out … [Read more...]

Sean, a Car guard in Durban

Sean_01

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...]
