  Professional Photographer

  My photographic journey started in 1998 as a freelance photographer in JHB, travelling overseas and in 2004 started working at the Independent Newspaper Group. This laid the groundwork for a long career as a newspaper photo-journalist, covering everything from hard new stories to travel and sports. Since then I've been shooting a variety of stories for magazines, from fashion, product, people and food, in studio or on location.
