Jako Pooman. Norwood Model #1, Norwood (Jhb) March 2023
DPC Basic Course Portrait Workshop during March 2023. It was right after the basic course, so my fingers were still figuring the camera out. But this shot did not come out too bad, even though the aperture was not perfect for the portrait.

Jako Poolman. Golden Shimmer, Rocky Bay (December 2023)
After a couple of failed attempts, a morning finally arrived with only a few wisps of clouds in the sky. I caught this using the 2-stop, three-photo HDR technique right at the edge of golden hour and absolutely loved the golden colours.

Jako Poolman. Stormy Clouds, Rocky Bay (December 2023)
Had it all planned out to catch the sunrise, but it was heavily overcast this morning. Nearing the end of what was supposed to be the “Golden Hour”, I was still taking pics of these amazing, stormy cloud formations using the 2-stop HDR technique. So maybe no sun, but still had an opp…Read More

Jako Poolman. Boat launch, Rocky Bay (December 2023)
Got up early (around 3 am) to catch the sunrise, but it was heavily overcast this morning. These guys just launched their boat and sat on this wave for about 10 minutes before turning around and charging it with more vigour, breaking into the open sea and heading for those stormy clouds.…Read More

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.

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.

Great portrait, Jako, especially the expression and toning. However, this portrait could be enhanced by slightly darkening the highlights and a bit of skin retouching.
