About
My photographic journey began at a very young age while assisting my father photographing weddings. From the moment my father handed me my first SLR film camera instantly my passion for the art of photography began and I would seize the opportunity to photograph anything and everything.
On completion of my secondary education I pursued higher education in photography at the Photographic Imaging Centre and was honoured to become an AIPP accredited professional photographer.
