I am a freelance photojournalist and I live on a farm in the Goukamma River valley just outside of Knysna in the Western Cape, South Africa. My love of all things natural and a burning desire to protect life has led me on an introspective photographic journey of self discovery... I changed South African legal history after winning a landmark “duty of care” case against the State for not protecting me from a violent criminal who had been let out on bail. It took 15 creative years of my life and now I’m catching up! My twenty five years of photographic experience is entrenched in the disciplines of lighting, format, composition and film which I now apply to the digital age. I love the many freedoms that this new technology allows for the enhancement of an image, however, I always try to stay true to the original and hardly ever over edit my work.
