    Danie Bester. Solitary Cow in the Fog 2, Eswatini, 2018

    ISO 400, 1/125 sec at f/8. Canon 6D, 45mm Tilt-Shift Lens, Handheld

    Upon our arrival in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), we encountered soft drizzle and dense fog, limiting visibility to around 20 metres. Cattle seemed to appear from the fog as if by magic. I left the car to capture a series of images. The foggy conditions lasted for several days, offering an ideal backdrop for moody photography.

    Lightroom Edit: Monochrome conversion using my own preset, “Silent Concrete,” with minimal dodging and burning through masks.

About Me

Danie Bester

DPC Founder, Programme Director. Fine Art and Commercial Photographer

The more abstract forms of photography like impressionism and minimalism intrigue me. I prefer creating images that depict energy, mood, and silence. To illustrate my themes, I use mainly long exposures, selective focus, and focus blur. My philosophy is that the camera is just a paintbrush and that thought-provoking images stem from a developed mind.
