    After an interesting talk from Danie last night where he gave some practical tips when it comes to shooting Architecture, interior and exterior, I thought I share some images I took together with Danie at Mall of Africa. This was a good couple of years ago and all these images were bracketed for the dynamic range. My biggest regret from then was that I did not have a tilt-shift lens and it is something still on my bucket list.

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.
