Latest project that I filmed and edited for the Shoprite Group. We went through 14 drafts and the client wanted to make the video as short as possible.

Luke Brouwers “Web of Deceit” Johannesburg 2017
CANON70D 1/80th sec@f/10 ISO100, 24mm(EF24-105mm f/4). I took this image sometime ago at Arts on Main on one of the many walks with Danie and the street photography group. This is all about shadow play. I decided on this title as at the time in SA there was always and still is news about woman abuse.…Read More![]()

Would one call this Fine Art Photography? A combination of two of my own images and edited in Photoshop.

Title: ‘Happy Hour’
5DMk4, Tamron 150-600mm, 1/1000 sec at F5.6, ISO 100
This was taken in the early morning into a rising sun. I needed to retain enough data in the shadows to give a bit of detail hence the high shutter speed. I had taken a number of fairly boring shots when the bull decided he would come to the party and complete the c…Read More![]()

Title: ‘Dawn on the Beach’
5DMk4, Tamron 18-55mm, 1/60 sec at F5, ISO 250
A shot I took a year ago but felt The Adamsky Effect would work quite well so I did a re-edit and I like it.

The Kandinsky method can easily be overdone, but John, you’ve nailed it with your execution. The balance between blur and sharpness is spot-on, making me take a second look to realize you’ve employed this technique. Had you not mentioned it, I would’ve been compelled to ask. This is a superb fusion of surrealism and realism,…Read More-

Your carousel image, typically a symbol of joy, carries a starkly ominous feel with the absence of happy children. The dark editing effectively contributes to this sense of solitude. Some constructive feedback: the watermark is unnecessary detract from the image’s impact.

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.

Pieter, your storytelling is simple and effective without unnecessary embellishments or excess. Exactly what I would want as a client. I wish more photographers would realize the importance of simple storytelling.
