I seek out transient moments, rare moments when the natural world puts on a display so great, so inspirational, that I have to see it. Immense thunderstorms, rare weather events, incredible wildlife encounters, that’s when I feel most alive and at peace, out in the wilderness, away from the clamour of modern life. I seek out these moments, mainly for the experience but also for the unique opportunities it provides for photography. Born with an appreciation for the outdoors, I thrive on photographic exploration in search of unique perspectives on our natural world. I am a landscape and wildlife photographer from Johannesburg in South Africa.

I started photography in April 2007, and since then it has evolved into an immense passion. In 2008, I joined a weekend wildlife photography workshop under the guidance of the late Chris Van Rooyen which sparked a huge interest in wildlife photography for me. I do consider myself predominantly self-taught and find great value in online resources, like this eBook, as well as other content such as YouTube videos and articles. I do however, firmly believe that the most effective way to learn is through experience. Go outside and take as many photographs as possible!
