Oats and Blueberries

Going out of my comfort zone and playing around with dark and moody for a change. It was really interesting how much work I had to do to cut down the light, especially for the background, to get the feeling I was going for.

f4.0, 2 sec, ISO 100

This image taken at our bush lodge was just the greatest timing. I just didnt have great settings and light. It still made a great print and gift

Have any of you experimented with long exposure photography?
Would you be interested in a bit of a presentation on this topic?

Finding multiple complimentary compositional elements is a great way of improving landscape images.

How to Photograph the Northern Lights

The Northern Lights season has now drawn to a close. However, the next couple of seasons could be very special indeed for auroras chasers. Join me as I discuss the beauty of the Northern Lights, some of the science behind them, and how I capture this magical experience. Back in October last year, I visited Iceland for 10 magical days, travelling around the country in a camper van, chasing the auroras. Out of the 10 days, I saw the auroras seven nights, which for Iceland, is quite special. The weather in Iceland can be pretty unpredictable, but I had amazing fortune on my journey.

Enjoyed watching these kids, carefree on their summer holiday having fun in the tidal pools in Kalk Bay

Beaky Beauty. I have such a love and fascination for the Hornbil and have hundreds of photos of them. Just a quirky depiction of expression, colour and texture.

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

Captured this underexposed image during sunset on a bleak day at Margate Beach after my wife lead me to this spot. Lightroom edits involved substantial dodging and burning with radial masks to accentuate the atmosphere. Even though I…Read More

This is a captivating culinary creation. An orange-infused cake emerges delicately encased in a glistening gelatin layer. Created by Chef Vincent, I choose to photograph it in a low-key lighting set up, to accentuate the cake’s alluring charm and moodiness, and create a tantalising visual symphony.
