What a difference it makes to finally have a proper sophisticated studio setup that I now have to use to in order to properly capture pack shot product photography. I have always had to 'make a plan' in the past in order to achieve the best results but now having our own studio setup at the Churchill Studio, it has so improved my image capture of smaller product. This was … [Read more...]

Good things come to those who wait. Quite true for this shoot as, despite the challenges we got some great images of the Cremer family. After being postponed firstly due to a surprise trip to the midlands and then Movember getting in the way of proceedings, we able to achieve a great range of images of this amazing family who have just the most incredible kids - each one so … [Read more...]

December 22, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Apple has been quite consistent in the past few years since their release of the first iPhone that they release a new version of the hardware each year around June. There was much hype and anticipation for the latest release ... the iPhone 4. It was to be completely redesigned with a new stylish, more contemporary finish and an improved camera which would capture video in high … [Read more...]
White Family

I had the pleasure to being able to work with this wonderful family this morning with both older kids being rather photogenic - if only their older son would allow me take his picture. He kept on playing the game of hiding his face but luckily we managed to coax him into looking at the lens for enough shots to capture those amazingly playful eyes! Their daughter, in contrast … [Read more...]
Ballerinas – Double Trouble!
October 29, 2010 by 1 Comment
Loved the opportunity to photograph my daughter, Nasia with her best friend, Rebecka, who was on her way to perform at her year-end ballet concert. The 2 girls had a great time performing for the camera. It was great to get familiar with the studio environment setup here in Churchill Road, Durban. Anyone want to get some studio pictures done, I need practise. Give me a call and … [Read more...]
Need for Speed
September 8, 2010 by Leave a Comment
The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys. That can't be more true for me but the only problem is the prices of the toys I desire are slightly out of my range of affordability. We can always dream though ... or for some of us we get asked to photograph them and can get up close and personal with these high quality watercraft made to reach very high speeds … [Read more...]

When I initially got the invite to this weekend away at Sontuli I felt quite honored. I had had a tough year thus far in many aspects. We had been making it to church on Sunday mornings when we were able to do so as Nasia, our 3 yr old daughter was starting to enjoy children's church more even though Melanie still had to go with her, but I had not been able to make homegroup … [Read more...]
Investigating Death
June 4, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Sometimes as photographers we don't choose what we photograph but rather need to humble ourselves in accepting that our skills are needed by those not altogether comfortable in the process of image capture. Needed in such a way that the client knows that they cannot capture their work as a showcase as well as those that undertake scene capture on a regular basis and thus hire … [Read more...]
Enjoying Opportunity

I needed to leave the office early today, mainly to clear my head so I headed out on a bike ride towards the beachfront. I stopped in at the 2010 Fine Art Expo at Sun Coast Casino. Ok, if you're anywhere near that area you've got to go take a look - the artworks are awesome. I mainly went inside to view the amazing photography of legend photographer Dennis Guichard whose … [Read more...]
St Lucia Skiboat Club

What better way to spend a family dinner with your wife and 3yr old daughter than by an eco-sensitive estuary watching the hippos playfully enjoy the last of the daylight. This was the St Lucia Skiboat club and we were sure treated to some amazingly simple good quality food. One of the best pizzas I'd had ever. I do enjoy taking the opportunity to capture some low light … [Read more...]
