| Photography is something that I am passionate about. My interest in this wonderful medium started when I was still in high school. That would be in the late 70's, if you're trying to gauge the longevity of my interest in photography.
I was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, but emigrated to the USA in 2000. I am now a resident of New Jersey, USA, where I live with my wife and daughter. I have also travelled through parts of Africa and Europe.
After high-school, I graduated with a college degree in Electronic Engineering,
and worked as a TV Broadcast Engineer in South Africa. During the same time,
my photography develeoped as a parallel career.
Then in 2000, my wife and I decided to settle in the USA with our daughter - and I have pursued photography as a full time career since.
Weddings and portraits comprise the majority of my work, but I also present workshops and seminars on aspects of digital photography and lighting.
I've also had my photography work and writing published.
I love photography for a variety of reasons. The stimulation and excitement of responding to new situations satisfies both my analytical and creative sides, and I also truly love working with people. I get real pleasure from sharing the happiness with the people that I photograph, and knowing that I'm creating images that will evoke wonderful memories for a lifetime.
