Port Alfred, Eastern Cape
Growing up in a small surf town, surrounded by ocean-loving family members, it was only natural that surfing would become a huge part of my life.
I have always had a fascination for photography and it was only a matter of time before I combined my fascination with my love for the ocean and surfing. So, I started taking photos of local surfers around Port Alfred, capturing the unique lines and fun moments of those who were truly in touch with the ocean. For me, the thrill of capturing a perfect shot was just as exciting as standing in a perfect barrel. And through my art, I was able to bring the stoke and energy of surfing to life for others to enjoy.
Surf photography is super addictive, I have never done it for the exposure but for the passion of seeing someone stoked with an awesome photo.
