Meet your portrait maker

I have been snapping photographs for close to 20 years. As a young teen, I walked around the neighbourhood with a film camera, photographing everyday objects in a way that made them look captivating.

I'm a multifaceted photographer with and academic background in History of Art, Psychology, and Photography. With two decades of experience and experiments, I have developed a deep understanding of the key elements that produce captivating imagery, honing my craft to skillfully capture the essence of my subjects.

My unique style merges the timeless sophistication of Old Master Fine Art with the contemporary edge of Vogue and Vanity Fair, resulting in expressive and exquisite legacy portraits. I forge meaningful personal connections with my subjects, evoking their most authentic selves, a skill that is truly showcased in my portfolio.

My portfolio is broad, encompassing women and men of all backgrounds, as well as children, Mummy and me, and generational portraits. Additionally, I offer personal- and professional branding for corporates, models, actors, and artists alike, guaranteeing that your business is represented in the best possible light.

I'm dedicated to delivering excellence at every stage of my process, from the initial consultation to the final product. I take pride in creating timeless, heirloom images that will be cherished for generations to come

I am primarily located in Pretoria, but I also offer sessions in Cape Town and Potchefstroom.
