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

Nostalgia

When getting my props ready for photography, I stumbled upon these. They are very special to me as I got them from my Grandmother. I love the little box she used to keep them in. I believe the Eu de Cologne is still for sale. -

About Me
Photography is an art medium that speaks to me the most as an outlet for my creativity. I especially love landscape and architectural photography. Landscape photography gives one time to think, discover and create. It gives me great pleasure to find silence, solitude, simplicity and sometimes coincidence and surprises in nature.
Over the years I have discovered I am naturally draw to black and white (B&W) images, especially in B&W architecture. The biggest reason, other than the timeless appeal of B&W, lies in the fact that B&W architectural photography, by its nature, gives me more freedom to depart from the visual reality. Therefore, for me, the joy of being creative comes from identifying the underlying beauty and potential from a more visible and obvious colour reality, then transforming it to a black and white vision. This holds true for landscape photography as well.
My use of natural light, tonal contrast, colour, texture, and movement are the qualities I look for when I am out there and what makes my images unique. Through my images, I want to offer the world my perspectives and express my connections with the subjects that I capture.
