Get Photopills, they said. Plan your shoots, they said…but nobody said it’s fun getting up at 3:00am to catch the sunrise. Worth it? Every second! Long exposures loading… #Sunrise #LandscapePhotography

BMT College September 2023
Applied my new-found knowledge and shot a few portraits of our personnel. Still a couple of hiccups and fine-tuning and learning ahead. But a couple of the images came out looking not too bad, like this picture of Leandra.

DPC Studio Workshop at Studio012 in August 2023.
It was awesome working with Sascha, even though she probably ended up helping more with the photo-taking part.

Steampunk Workshop at Studio012 in July 2023. More shots from the day. The costumes and get-ups lend themselves to monochrome creations. Even missed a couple of the set-ups, but it was all worth it.
Luke reconned it was time for a bite.

Steampunk Workshop at Studio012 in July 2023. Different costumes, different models, and amazing hair and make-up by Amanda. Had to borrow a camera from a friend because the Canon 2000D didn’t work with the triggers.
Melissa was a great sport during the shoot.

DPC Studio Workshop at Studio012 in June 2023. Ended up shooting late into the evening. But it was worth it. Experimented with a lot of different light settings.

“Moonlight – The Pond,” until recently the most expensive photograph ever sold, stands as a testament to the intrinsic value of photography in the art world. This sale symbolises hope and recognition for photography as a medium that, while not getting the same recognition as painting, holds its own in artistic value. This highlights the…Read More

About Me
Jako Poolman
Vice-Principal - BMT College
I am an amateur/enthusiast/hobbyist photographer looking to improve my technique and find my style. Right now, I enjoy all types of photography. I lean more towards the challenge of street photography and enjoy the mix of technicality, composition, and creativity of studio work.
As an educator and Vice-Principal of BMT College, I get to do what I love, by creating opportunities for people to learn and improve their worlds.
I absolutely believe that every one of us has infinite potential, but that our purpose for existence is only a fraction for ourselves and mostly for other people.
Focus on and enjoy the process, the work, the grind. Have fun. The rest will follow.
