The November issue of South African Home Owner magazine features my image on the cover. It has been quite a progression with this magazine for me as I first approached them in early 2006 to photograph for them in Durban but at that time they were still using photographers who shot tranny thus would not consider my skills shooting only in digital.
This all changed from their art department through the course of 2006 and through a course of events their managing editor approached me after having browsed through me portfolio and got me on board as one of their KZN photographers. When I started I was one of 2 photographers in the region but now have become the preferred photographer.
I really have been trying my utmost to get an image on the cover but they seemed to have strict guidelines by which they selected the cover image. Well it has now come to pass that I’ve got my first cover image in a national magazine. This will now be framed to go alongside my first cover image from a provincial publication in ‘Property Magazine KZN’.
Can you put a link to your cover photo or include it will be cool
Yeah I will update this post as soon as I have the issue released in KZN – I saw it in the Woolies as of yesterday so should get my copy from the rep this week. It’s gonna get framed!
The cover image is now included with this post. Was in all stores in KZN from late October.
Congrats, Grant, that looks fabulous!
On page 67 of the March 2009 issue, there is a photograph of a bathroom. There are contacts listed for this feature, but nothing about where I can purchase a mirror like advertised. Have you any idea where I can get one exactly like this. Many thanks for a delightful magazine, which I never miss.
Hi Grant, I was browsing your site and saw the front cover of SAHO of nov 2008. I designed the house for the van Rensburg Family and the SAHO editor at the time was very complimentary about the quality of the photography and it definately deserved a cover page!!!!! well done
Thanks Hans, much appreciate the feedback. If you’d like me to showcase any of your work for your portfolio of past or future projects I would be most excited about that. Just love photographing great architecture and have always enjoyed shooting your homes – have done a few of them through the scope of SA Home Owner.
