Craig: Another on my seemingly ever expanding wish list was the Canon L series 24mm f1.4 lens. I recently promoted this lens from wish list to purchase list. Aesthetically it is once again rather pleasing to the eye and with its chunky features, fits beautifully onto my 1D MK3. Enough with the [...]

The perks of the job! The retouching job that is. About a week ago I got the invite through to my inbox for Mario Testino’s book (Kate Who?) and exhibition launch at Phillips De Pury. Most of you will already know that I work as a freelance high end fashion retoucher when I am not [...]

We spent two nights in Bristol last week which was our first time there. The reason for this was The Photography Parlour photographer’s Get Together all thought out by the utterly sweet, giving, professional and organized to the max – drum roll please – Rosie Parsons! This woman is a total saint. How she managed [...]

Today is my birthday.
I wanted to share a couple of photographs that I took of my Mom last year after she got re-married. Mom, thank-you for always being there for me, thank-you for being supportive without being pushy and thank-you for being my friend.

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters [...] -

Sometimes we have to put the late night editing sessions aside and get out and about with our cameras in order to just enjoy being a photographer and forget about being a business owner once in a while. This is exactly what Craig and I did yesterday in Brick Lane area in the East end [...]

A big thank-you to Eliza Claire for taking a few shots on Tuesday night at the Rocknrollbride Get Together. I have known Kat for some time now and it has been fantastic to see how her business has grown over the past two years. You may remember a creative shoot that we did with her [...]

No visit to Cape Town is complete without a visit to a vineyard. We managed to pack several in. Kleinmond is situated along the coast roughly half way between Hermanus and Cape Town. It was perfectly located for a visit to the Beaumont Estate in the Botrivier region. The Vineyard was [...]

Cape Town… Done {Part 1}

Another feather can be smugly placed in the proverbial cap. Chanelle and I had become so used to the look of bemusement on the faces of fellow South Africans after revealing that we had never visited Cape Town, that I’m sure the contortions upon our own faces upon hearing similar news would make the [...]

The proverbial tables where turned on me a couple months back when the ladies over at Rock My Wedding dropped a bombshell into my inbox – they had seen some of my wedding pictures on Facebook and wanted to feature our actual wedding!
Not a wedding that we have shot (as they have featured in [...] -

After much deliberation, I recently decided to upgrade my EOS 40D to an EOS 1D MK3.
I will admit that at the time I was close to packing in my Canon gear and switching over to Nikon with the purchase of the awesome D700.
I know upgrading your gear does not necessarily upgrade the photographer, but after [...]
