Cape Town, Western Cape

I have lived a quarter of a lifetime. Hailing from a small village nestled in the southern peninsular – Cape Town, South Africa, I specialize in Timeless Surf Photography, Surfing Lifestyle, Landscape & Abstract work.

I am an artist inspired by the greater outdoors; an avid ocean enthusiast, craftsman, creator, organic cultivator and photographer. I have always had a passion for art, which ensued my love for taking still photographs. At the end of 2018, after shooting surf photography as a hobby since 2010, I decided to go full swing into photography and photographic production.

After many years deliberating, researching and struggling with a debilitating hyper extension (broken back) injury at an early age, I had to face the music. I decided to quit my trade of carpentry and construction, to pursue my passion and enhance my artistic and creative flair as a photographer.

I’ve always had the trouble of having too many ideas and not sticking to one, eventually finding myself stuck in a loop. I suppose in that sense, I have always and will always be an artist.
