I studied at University of the Witwatersrand and Johannesburg College of Art in South Africa, made a career in the advertising industry and today am a professional photographer and Creative Director of Foursight Marketing Communications. Foursight is an advertising and marketing communications consultancy specializing in the industrial and business to business market sectors. Naturally the photographic work required by the Foursight client base has only occasional need of models – mostly it involves lugging tons of equipment around factories and manufacturing plants. However I also do a lot of personal work, mostly for the sake of diversity and sheer creative enjoyment. Much of this work falls in the areas of health and beauty, models portfolios, glamour and fine art nudes.

I keep an ever growing list of ideas and concepts scheduled for working on, primarily in the art nudes category. I look forward to establishing good working relationships with a few like-minded and creative models. Of course it follows that if you want to shoot with me you need to find your way to Johannesburg, South Africa.

I value your time and energy, and will always keep an open mind to ideas and input from the models with whom I work. I like to keep shoots fun, creative and of mutual benefit to model, make-up artist and myself.

About Comments and crits:
If I comment on any of your pics, please don't expect any one word/one line comments. If I think an image is 'stunning' I will endeavour to say in as word efficient manner as possible why I think it is so. Similarly, if I think a work has merit but is somehow flawed, I will say so too. That's the value of constructive criticism, otherwise we are all doing little else but blowing smoke. It follows that I take no offence should anyone offer a fair criticism of the flaws in my work.
