The Triumphal Arch at Hartebeespoort Dam.

The inscription on the arch reads:
sine aqua arida ac misera agri cultura (“without water agriculture is dray and harsh”)

On the other side of the Arch the following abbreviated inscription of Isaiah 43: 19-21 can be found:
dedi in deserto aquas flumina in invio (“The beasts of the field, the serpents…Read More

“Communion”

I do a lot of photography for my church, and I am always fascinated by people’s hands.

Photos will be grainy due to high ISO and B/W conversion I do in Nik Silver Efex.

In 2025 I was approached by the coach / chairman / organizer of the American 5-a-side Football League to photograph some of the league matches. It is a very small league, only 3 teams in 2024, but the action was pretty hectic. A5FL uses the same rules as the normal AFL, but it is played on a much smaller field.

The following three teams played in…Read More

(Edit: After some feedback from @daniebester I made some editing changes to this photo to make the elephant cow and calf stand out a bit more)

I am by no means a wildlife photographer, and not really a big fan of the Kruger National Park. Reason being that you drive, and drive, and drive, and rarely see anything. During the December holiday, we…Read More

After attending the One-day architectural workshop on Sunday, 26 Nov, and the Zoom meeting on Architectural editing, I created the following HDR Panorama.

I wanted to create the feeling of a warm family home at night and went for a warmer edit with the lights in the house. I did a sky replacement in Photoshop and made the sky also a bit…Read More

A quick portrait of my son. I was playing with back lighting. My vision for this was a mysterious and dramatic B/W portrait. I wanted to emphasize the tattoo on his arm.

Close up B/W portrait. (Cropped close during editing). Impromptu portrait shoot in my small home studio. Due to a low ceiling, I could not get the height of the flash very high. Key light was an AD200 Pro and the hair light/fill light a Godox V860ii.

Studio portrait I took at the end of 2022. Can it be called split lighting? Used colour grading in post processing to tint the shadows a little blue.

From a recent matric farewell shoot I did. I just love the shadow on the ground and the hint of blue from his arm and the slight peak of her dress. The watch was almost blown out, but I managed to get some detail back.
