Description

I've spent most of my career capturing the debauchery of festivals, clubs, and musicians after moving to Cape Town; and incorporated more diverse subjects such as architecture, food, and landscape into my portfolio of portraits, and documentary images.

Some of the highlights of my career include road manager for a rap group, assisting/directing/managing teams for content creation with awesome brands including Red Bull, Puma, and Woolworths, community manager for @redbullza, official photographer for the Mumford and Sons: Gentlemen of the Road Tour in Cape Town, South Africa, working as the official Red Bull Studios content creator, being part of the Red Bull Photography Academy in Cape Town, working with amazing musicians, and mediums, as well as being awarded the top photography blog in Africa by Webfluential.

My clients have included (but are not limited to): Red Bull, Puma, ASICS, Mobile Media Mob, Woolworths, Big Concerts, Live Nation, Grant Hinds, Fokofpolisiekar, Francois Van Coke, Raptor Room, State Bicycle Company, and Baked Ink…

I enjoys taking the time to travel, explore, experiment, and get lost, as well as being an avid gamer with a huge sock collection.
