hello.

I have always been driven by my love for beauty and my passion for life’s important moments.

Twenty years ago I started my photography journey in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa. I am now based in New York since 2015. I believe the beauty of South Africa and the energy of New York have helped shape my unique approach to photography.

Cape Town taught me to find creativity in unexpected places and to never stop exploring new possibilities. In contrast, New York's vibrant photography scene brims with reverence and a rich heritage. For decades It has been a global arena for the best in the business to showcase their work. The stakes are high and the pace is fast. I have worked for the most incredible clients and with the best in the business and now after a few years I can proudly sing - "New York, New York!"

When people ask me what I photograph, I like to say:
"I photograph people... who happen to be at a great party!"

My experience has given me an intimate understanding of the nuances and flow of events and how people interact and move within those spaces. It is your event, your family and your friends that will forever become your memories!
