Jako Poolman. Office Chairs, BMT College (Jhb) March 2023
Probably not street photography in the strictest sense, but this was not meant as architectural photography. I just loved this image of the two chairs against the criss-cross of the security gate in the background.

Jako Poolman. Quadrants, Norwood (Jhb) March 2023
DPC Basic Course, Street photography workshop in Norwood. This should probably be part of a series, but I like this composition and it was the first time I took the nifty fifty out for a spin.

Jako Poolman. Spider web 1, Chartwell AH (Jhb) October 2023
I’m not sure if this is landscape or wildlife. But it seems to fit here. Took this while testing the new 50mm Rf 1.8 lens. Loved the bokeh of the light filtering through the leaves.

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.
