I bought my first SLR camera in 1996, a Canon EOS 5. I concentrated primarily on wild life photography for many years, with the occasional wedding, birthday or matric dance in between. Some of my wildlife photos appeared on TV programs like 50/50, or in printed magazines like Weg. My action photo of a rhino lifting a car at Renostergat (Mabalingwe nature reserve) won the Weg magazine's monthly prize.

In recent years I started studio and on location style photography. I prefer the photograph to be the main art form (I did not perfect it though, and it is a constant learning curve). I aim to do as little as possible post processing / retouching. Most of my photos in my portfolio are still the raw image from the camera, before any retouching was done.

I am very comfortable and professional around all, from children to nude models (male and female). I do have a few rules though.
1. I require the model to complete a model release and present an ID before the shoot starts (Age verification).
2. I require that models bring a trusted person along to the photo shoot. In extreme circumstances it will be acceptable to come alone - For example when shooting at a studio where other independent people are next door or the model knows and trusts the MUA.
3. I will never touch any model, I will try to demonstrate the pose myself (difficult, I know). If not, I will try to demonstrate it on my assistant. In extreme circumstances, if everything else fails, then I will describe what and how I am going to touch the model, and will ask beforehand and requires permission before touching the model.
