Summary

Photography has been my life since 2001. I studied at The Open Window in Pretoria, freelanced for a while (shooting mostly weddings and events), travelled abroad, worked in a portait studio, joined Alchemy Publishing as an in-house photographer, providing images of products, babies, children, families and mothers for Baba En Kleuter, Your Baby, Your Pregnancy and Your Child magazines.
Since 2008 I have been freelancing for Living & Loving magazine, providing images for features and editorials.

I am available for corporate, promotional, event, product and feature photography
