    “Holding On”
    This image was taken the Namib Nauklaft Park close to Dune 45.

    CANON EOS90D, 1/500 Sec @f4.5, ISO400 at 100mm(EF100-400 F4.5-5.6L IS USM. Tripod was used and I did some basic editing in Lightroom and then brought it across into Photoshop where I used luminosity masks to create the desired effect I was looking for.

    The Namib-Naukluft Park is a national park in western Namibia, situated between the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and the edge of the Great Escarpment. It encompasses part of the Namib Desert (considered the world’s oldest desert), as well as the Naukluft mountain range. The best-known area of the park and one of the main visitor attractionas in Namibia is Sossusvlei, a clay pan surrounded by dunes, and Sesriem, a small canyon of the Tsauchab.

    I was fortunate enough to spend some time travelling around Namibia at the beginning of 2022. Namibia’s unique landscapes, diverse wildlife, and rich cultural heritage make it a fascinating destination for travelers seeking a mix of adventure, nature, and cultural experiences.

About Me

Photography is an art medium that speaks to me the most as an outlet for my creativity. I especially love landscape and architectural photography. Landscape photography gives one time to think, discover and create. It gives me great pleasure to find silence, solitude, simplicity and sometimes coincidence and surprises in nature.

Over the years I have discovered I am naturally draw to black and white (B&W) images, especially in B&W architecture. The biggest reason, other than the timeless appeal of B&W, lies in the fact that B&W architectural photography, by its nature, gives me more freedom to depart from the visual reality. Therefore, for me, the joy of being creative comes from identifying the underlying beauty and potential from a more visible and obvious colour reality, then transforming it to a black and white vision. This holds true for landscape photography as well.

My use of natural light, tonal contrast, colour, texture, and movement are the qualities I look for when I am out there and what makes my images unique. Through my images, I want to offer the world my perspectives and express my connections with the subjects that I capture.
