No matter how good you are at photography, you should never stop learning.
So why learn photography? To capture memories, to expand your perceptions of the world, to honour your creative vision, to become fully present, to participate in a wonderful lifelong hobby, and to more fully appreciate and enjoy your journey through life.
It is a privilege to be a photographer!!!
Photographers create permanent visual images for a wide range of creative, technical and documentary purposes. They are employed in a wide range of sectors to take stylised and evocative or unbiased and factual photographs of a highly professional standard.

I started my wildlife photography journey with nothing but a passion for capturing what I had seen unfold before me for years.
Determined I could achieve that, I set out with the most basic equipment, and eventually, my efforts were rewarded.
I, fortunately, love travel and being in my own company, so I spend months on the road in perfect partnership with the animals, great light, and the landscape. My confidence grew, and my images started to speak for themselves; so did my range of equipment, as did the awards.
My proudest moment was being made a Licentiate by the Photography Society of South Africa. I take so much pride in the steps I have taken, and it gives me such joy to see my work in magazines and hanging on walls of game lodges across Africa.
My philosophy is that anyone can acquire technical skills in photography. Still, you need heart, passion and a deep connection with what is around you to capture the finest of what Mother Nature has on offer.
