With 25 years of fulltime experience as a professional photographer, I am running my studio from Bloemfontein in central South Africa.
Being a international photographer I am available for assignments worldwide and have worked in 24 countries, with pictures been published all over the world.
I have photographed many major sporting events like the FIFA Soccer World Cup, Rugby World Cup the Cricket World Cup and the World Athletics Championships, amazing weddings at awesome venues, and editorials for many magazines and newspapers locally and abroad.
I have done work for the BBC, CNN, SABC 1, 2 and 3, MNET and some of the biggest newspapers in the world like “The News of the World”, and have done commissions for organisations like the Princess of Wales Foundation.
I was fortunate to have photographed people like Princes Diana, Nelson Mandela, Dr.Chris Barnard and actors like Morgan Freeman and famous sports men and women from all over… to name a few Gary Player, Hansie Cronje, Schalk Burger, Jean de Villiers, Victor Matfield, John Smit, François Pienaar, Marian Jones, Sean Fitzpatrick, Amanda Coetzer, Oscar Pistorius and dozens others.
Famous South Africans like Raymond Ackerman, Tony Leon and Danny Jordaan was also photographed by me.
I am equipped with the newest and latest camera gear from Nikon, and will use the equipment best fitting the assignment, namely the Nikon D4, or the high resolution 25 million pixel Nikon D3X bodies and the amazing 36 million pixel Nikon D800.
“Most things in life are moments of pleasure and a lifetime of embarrassment; photography is a moment of embarrassment and a lifetime of pleasure.”
I am generally not the lowest bidding photographer, but before you make a decision purely based on cost, please consider what was said by John Ruskin over a century ago regarding this topic.
“It is unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money, that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot, it cannot be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better”
