I accredit a great deal of my success as an architectural photographer to Metropole Architects as it was Nigel Tarboton, one of their senior architects, who gave me the initial boost, a good few years ago now, in giving me opportunity to photograph one of their completed homes. I have never looked back and love the capture of architectural design. It just so happens that, to … [Read more...]
An Architectural Masterclass
November 14, 2010 by Leave a Comment
What draws me with childlike excitement to the amazing experiences of the photography of architecture is ultimately great architecture. The homes designed by Feeu Architects, part of the Extra Dimensions Property Group are sensational, extremely photogenic and provide for some interesting imagery. What I really enjoy about these homes is the workmanship and finish of the … [Read more...]

When I photograph a building and the fantastic interior decor that accompanies it, my aim is to always capture it in the best possible light. At times some of the light with the greatest mood is during or just after a storm - or in this case it's during a quick period that the rain took a break from the torrential down pour we've been experiencing over the past few days. It was … [Read more...]
In a Different Class

I know I've said this before and I'll say it again! I do get to see some amazing homes and beautiful buildings but this particular home on the South Coast of KwaZulu Natal ranks up there as one of my favourites by top architects Atelier and Associates. The flow and style of the home, the architectural elements and well thought out finishes were fantastic. The whole place … [Read more...]

Loved the opportunity to photograph my daughter, Nasia with her best friend, Rebecka, who was on her way to perform at her year-end ballet concert. The 2 girls had a great time performing for the camera. It was great to get familiar with the studio environment setup here in Churchill Road, Durban. Anyone want to get some studio pictures done, I need practise. Give me a call and … [Read more...]
On Eagles Wings

This sure was a home filled with class and simple elegance. Set in the rolling hills of Zimbali Coastal Resort with views across the valley and interiors superbly implemented to this modern contemporary home. The interior work was done by Nicky Fraser of Fraser's Interiors. My favourite room of the house was the daughter's room - I'm sure most little girls would love to call … [Read more...]
Contemporary Balinese Villas
September 27, 2010 by 2 Comments
A few months back I got to shoot a showcase for an interior decorator of a home which was built by the Extra Dimensions Property Group and designed by architect Theo Coetzee. I loved the architecture and contemporary style right from the first entry of the home. I then arrive at the these 2 Balinese villas overlooking the 12th green of Zimbali golf course and immediately … [Read more...]
Need for Speed

The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys. That can't be more true for me but the only problem is the prices of the toys I desire are slightly out of my range of affordability. We can always dream though ... or for some of us we get asked to photograph them and can get up close and personal with these high quality watercraft made to reach very high speeds … [Read more...]
Waiting for the Light

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing a penthouse apartment within one of the housing blocks right on the Umdloti beach. This was in North Beach Road which is like a cliff face retreating out from the waves of the sea below. Thus the apartments really do feel as though they are 'floating' above the waves. This particular home is the residence of an interior design … [Read more...]
Sontuli – A few Glenridge men unite

When I initially got the invite to this weekend away at Sontuli I felt quite honored. I had had a tough year thus far in many aspects. We had been making it to church on Sunday mornings when we were able to do so as Nasia, our 3 yr old daughter was starting to enjoy children's church more even though Melanie still had to go with her, but I had not been able to make homegroup … [Read more...]
