I had loads of fun, and food, filming and interviewing Chef Rani and Chef Thobeka, in the FNB Acacia House kitchen and common areas.

Thank you ladies for your patience and for the delicious food!

It’s been an epic past few weeks. From shooting in a Durban mall I’ve never set foot in before (which happened to originally be a railway station), to filming at a school in Umlazi in the pouring rain for an NPO, to filming men running in purple speedos to create awareness of male cancers…it’s been a colourful time to say the least!

Thank you to all my clients and partners!

Endurance Challenge video is up on my YouTube channel. You can also check it out on Instagram page or their YouTube channel.

This was a tough edit for me because I ended up with way “too much” great footage. It was such a scenic event filled with beautiful human connections, and a couple laughs along the way. This made it very easy to film, but not so easy to edit. Great “problem” to end up with.

Well done to from the for pulling such a unique event off. It’s always refreshing when events are less about competing with one another and more about challenging yourself, while cheering one another on.

I spent the morning filming runners off of a motorbike yesterday morning. The event was the 5km Super Run, which involved various waves/groupings of runners, everything from social runners to elite runners.

Congratulations to the record-breaking winners:

First man in: Precious Mashele: 13:39

Big thanks to my biker, Travis for getting me into the action and for not bucking me off the bike!

Thanks to Stillwater Sports and to and to for the collaboration

Snap shots from our Cape Town weekend away.

These were shot at farm. I got lost in all the textures, sights and smells of the place! What a rich experience.

Gear:
These were all shot on my A7C with a 58mm vintage lens. I shot in JPEG in PP2. I know that JPEG is a 4 letter swear word to most photographers, but gear and file formats are all about knowing what to use when.

I am very grateful to be getting some time off this week, as the past few weeks have been full on! This past week specifically has been the most challenging from a time perspective. I filmed some German government officials (with from ) for two days and then went straight into a 48 hour film project…what a line up!

I loved it all, but now I need a holiday. You might want to unfollow me now before all the food photos begin to fill your feed;)

I took these shots at sunrise this morning. What incredible sights for sore eyes that we are blessed with in this wonderful place!

I have been mildly obsessed with geometric shapes and leading lines in my compositions of late. To be more specific: incorporating S-shapes/zigzagging lines (frame 2), triangles, symmetry (frame 6) rule of thirds (frame 7), POV (point of view) (frame 9) and leading lines (frame 4,5)

I was relieved to notice that I ended up getting a few shots of the hockey players in some of my frames. Just kidding.

I was well impressed by the level of athleticism displayed by all the teams represented at the under 13 Old Mutual Hockey Tournament, hosted by

Thank you and for the awesome opportunity to capture some moments of these ladies in action.

Lastly, to those who do photography, or videography full time, or even to those who love taking photos with their phones for fun, I would encourage you to incorporate some of these compositional techniques into your framing. Remember that your creative eye is a muscle that is only going to grow when it gets challenged. Once you start to notice good composition in pictures you will see it everywhere. It is a powerful storytelling technique that shouldn’t be overlooked.

Some behind the scenes moments from a full week of production.

This past week has probably been the busiest and most significant week of my filming career.
From working on a movie set, to filming for an active wear brand at sunrise, to shooting a hockey tournament, to filming a trail run endurance challenge, it truly has been a fulfilling week!

To explain what you are seeing in the fourth frame, that was the last thing I saw before getting blasted by the field sprinkler/fire hose…how to stay cool in the most uncool way…

A massive thank you to all my clients, the referrals, second shooters, rentals houses, for the awesome opportunities to co-create!

Behind the scenes from yesterday’s mini documentary shoot with Paul and Hilton from . These two have got a great eye for detail and aren’t strangers to processes that take time, so they were a delight to work with on the day. Paul even went so far as to storyboard the shoot, which almost caused me to fall over backwards. What a treat!

It’s always a challenge filming alone, especially when working with lighting, mics, gimbals and tripods, but I guess it makes it that much more rewarding. Fortunately Paul and Hilton, along with their team were a great help on the day.

If you are curious about their story and their produce then keep an eye out for this film.

To those that have not yet discovered this gem of a deli, sourdough bakery and cafe one stop shop, I’d highlight recommend a visit. They run from Tuesdays to Saturdays 7-4pm and they can be found on 8th avenue which is just off of Florida Road.

Filming the 2024 Virginia Airshow - what a rush!

The airshow has always had a special place in my heart, because my father used to fly and served in the airforce. Growing up I recall going to Airshows and admiring aircrafts. So it was a real treat working with the humble team of talented pilots from all over South Africa.

I also grew up with a friend who got into flying. I was fortunate enough to go up a couple times with him. Tragically he was involved in a plane crash some years back. I find solace in knowing that he was doing what he loved and what is was exceptionally good at. Cheers JJ!

So Saturday was a mixed bag of emotions as I was reminded of the impact that a kind and loving father and a best friend have had on my life.

A big thanks to all the pilots for your generosity with your time during the interviews.

Thank you for the epic opportunity!
