Shorty after Linc Church moved into their building in 2014, I was commissioned to showcase the architecture & interior design solutions provided by Union 3. Now 4 years on and after some sensational improvements to the facility making it a true multi-use venue, the team at Linc commissioned an updated photographic showcase.

Umdloti Beach House
A few weeks ago I was commissioned to showcase another wonderful design by Metropole Architects. This location had the usual majestic cantilevers and floating planes we've come to expect from this amazing architectural firm but, due to it notĀ being within a residential estate, the design boundaries of the architecture were pushed to the limitsĀ and the sophisticated result was … [Read more...]

Worked hard to 'shape' the light to fill in all the … [Read more...]

Last week I had a major mishap with my spectacles and they ended becoming ex-spectacles! I thus had to head off to the optometrist and organise a new pair and while I was at it I decided to have an eye test which I hadn't done for just under 2 years. My other glasses were desperately in need of replacement too, as the frames were way too loose and the lenses badly scratched ... … [Read more...]
Out of the Urban Box
I accredit a great deal of my success as an architectural photographer to Metropole Architects as it was Nigel Tarboton, one of their senior architects, who gave me the initial boost, a good few years ago now, in giving me opportunity to photograph one of their completed homes. I have never looked back and love the capture of architectural design. It just so happens that, to … [Read more...]
