A trip to Jozi to spend a day in three different kitchens led me to Urbanologi at last. I was writing and photographing for an article about Jozi staff meals and after I had thoroughly intruded on what is usually a peaceful staff chow, I[...]
I adore my Lensbaby lenses and Venice is one of my favourite cities in the world. I spent one of my days in Venice just using my 50mm double glass optic on the Composer Pro and my Nikon D610.[...]

I attended this street food festival in Germany in 2015 when I was photographing a wedding for a dear friend in a mini European tour. This collection is quite out of character as far as subject matter goes. I shoot mostly for clients relate[...]
