about me

I've been capturing moments that matter since 2003, but my journey with visual storytelling began long before I ever picked up a professional camera.

With an Honours degree in Psychology, I discovered that the best photography isn't just about technical skill—it's about understanding people. This unique perspective earned me the prestigious LPPSA (Licentiate of Photographic Society of South Africa) qualification in 2022, awarded to photographers who demonstrate exceptional technical competence and creative vision.

My background as a photojournalist taught me to see and capture authentic moments as they unfold. Whether I'm photographing a wedding, creating family portraits, or shooting commercial products, I combine journalistic instinct with artistic composition to tell stories that resonate

Through my journalism work with Project CBNews, I've covered assignments from the DRC to Angola, bringing the same dedication to storytelling that I bring to every photography session.

 From my professional studio at 21 Buhner Street, Meyerton, I work with clients across Gauteng, offering everything from intimate portrait sessions to comprehensive wedding coverage and commercial photography. My work has served clients ranging from local families to commercial businesses like Mundo Ladders, Thomas Tyres, and Comfy.

When I'm not behind the camera, I'm running two other businesses—JustGospel online radio (reaching over 106,000 listeners monthly) and Project CBNews journalism—or spending time with my four dachshunds: Chloe, Zain, Zoey, and Zeke, who occasionally make special appearances in my work.

 I believe great photography comes from understanding people, not just cameras. My Psychology background helps me create comfortable environments where authentic moments naturally unfold. My journalism training ensures I never miss the decisive moment. And my 20+ years of experience means I can handle any situation with professional confidence.

Let's create something beautiful together.
