  • Studio portrait I took at the end of 2022. Can it be called split lighting? Used colour grading in post processing to tint the shadows a little blue.

    Godox AD200 as main light. Hair light – Godox V860.

It runs under an agreement between the UAE and France, signed in March 2007, that allows it to use the Louvre’s name until 2037, and has been…Read More

  • I absolutely love shooting for Dinnerbox! Here is taste of what it looks like when I spend the day at their head office shooting new dishes. Dinnerbox is one of my biggest clients.

    They use the images for all their packaging, their advertisments, their billboards and have wrapped all their delivery vehicles, nationwide, with my food photos
    It’s…Read More

  • Who said a wide focal length cannot be used for action photography? I thought since the previous image was taken with a 300mm; I would go to the opposite end. Here I used a 14-24 f2.8 lens at 14mm. I wanted to tell a story, where the whole event and all the officials (don’t forget the guy with the rake) were all showing their interest in the…Read More

    • I love the image Glen. I think the wide angle paid off. I used to take a lot of school athletics photos when I was still a teacher. Never thought to go wide. Always from the front.

    • I agree with Jacques. Excellent choice of a wide angle – it shows context, displaying the pit and the impressive distance achieved by the jumper. The official on the other side, with their gaze fixed on the jumper, adds to the scene.

  • Fixed focal length lenses require planning… as the subject placement is more difficult than when using a zoom lens. Late afternoon sun showing texture and depth in the background, so I selected a spot where the rider would fill the frame (remember it’s a fixed 300mm so your legs are the zoom) and I waited for a rider with high contrasting…Read More

    • Excellent action shot! I like how you framed the rider and the dust behind him, leaving more space in front to indicate the force around the bend and the taking of a new direction.

  • Beaunard Grobler. Almost abandoned.

    Manual settings at f/4.0 with Lensbaby, Canon EOS 5D Mark II.

    Motorcycle parked under a tree in Johannesburg. A bit of split-toning was added in Photoshop to create a cinematic effect. The figure in the background adds an element of mystery to the picture.

    Went on a street and urban photography during late autumn in Johannesburg. I increased the shutter speed to capure the silhouette against the late afternoon sun.
