It’s been a while since I’ve actually posted something. We’ve had so much going on recently it’s just been a big adjustment (with more to come soon). This fellow() has been such a great support to us during this time, and we can’t thank him enough.

Trying something a little different with this portrait. Some have felt disturbed by this or just curious to it's intention. I'm interested to hear your thoughts/feelings to this type of portraiture.

Man! It's been a minute, so much going on while still being stuck indoors. I know I've posted pics of my watch before, it just so happened that I had the challenge to capture details. Whenever I think of details I think of this watch, a gift from my wife.

It's actually quite difficult to capture something with minute detail since the sensor and lenses you use all play a part in capturing the fine lines. Thankfully with the help of my strobe and some post-editing tricks I took as far as I could.

it's not lost on me the references to time in this post. :P

Isolation can be difficult, for me, I have managed to find a lot of peace and comfort. I'm not sure that's 'normal' but I think it's necessary in order to survive mentally through this pandemic. It's not to say that I don't enjoy being around others, but I am comfortable in my own head. I know it's not the same for a lot of people. How do you deal with isolation?

“Cleanse” - I love to shower, saying that out loud feels weird. It’s almost therapeutic in a way as I imagine I’m either getting rid of a (bad/hard) day or starting fresh for a new one. Maybe it’s just me?

“Are we there yet?”
Still waiting for this pandemic to be over. I’m starved for a bit of normality. I hope you’re keeping safe and that your 2021 is off to a great start. Stay safe, be good to each other.

While 2020 has been a 💩 🔥 it’s given me an opportunity to really hone my photography skills. Joining different communities and constantly challenging myself.

I’m looking forward to 2021 and the new photographic challenges that will be presented to me. Thank you for all the ❤️

I'm back in SA for a quick (controlled) visit to see family for the holidays. But first, I'm in self-quarantine and thought it would be nice to get a snap of the lodge guest that I'm in. I haven't seen a pool in a year so this is a welcomed sight!

Definitly going to take advantage of all the pools

So my recent photo got picked and this album was truly an honour to be amongst. The topic was 'nature' and the shots the photographers captured were simply incredible.

If you've got some time you should definitely have a scan through some of these images.

Hunger for passion

I’ve always been envious of people with raw talent, like drawing, crafting and mechanical where the labour of the work is delivered in a tangible object. I never thought I would ever be able to create anything meaningful until I found photography. Ironically I’ve owned a DSLR camera for well over a decade now, but never fully utilised it to its full potential, i.e. I shot on auto. It wasn’t until recently that I took a beginner course on photography and how to use a DSLR.

Well my eyes have been opened, and I have discovered a world of more than taking pictures, but one filled with colour, composition light and magic. I’m forever scouring websites to keep learning and growing. I try to take photos at every opportunity and then rush home to edit them and see how they come out. Amazing photographers and editors have inspired me in photo retouching, editing and manipulation.

I want to be able to deliver the same, and I want it now. I contemplated for a long time on whether or not I could start some fan club, man it still sounds obnoxious. But here we are I just decided to go for it, cause why not, I have nothing to lose.
