If I look at instagram’s input costs (hours shooting and editing photographs) vs. the payoff (fleeting feedback on my work) it’s clear that the ratio is out of whack. The platform still has its value but needs to be used in a way that supports more tangible gains instead of getting in the way of achieving them.

Pleased to announce that a selection of photos from my ongoing Muizenberg project will be on show at the 6th Addis Foto Fest, taking place in Addis Ababa, December 2020.

At a time when digital technology has enabled an “always on” flow of media that constantly vies for our attention, trying to tell us what to think, do, and consume, the simple act of going for a walk, clearing the mind, and observing the everyday interactions that take place around water bodies is a powerful, therapeutic gesture.

An upcoming group show (‘Unforeseen Landscapes’) at the PH Centre, in Cape Town, explores humanity’s complex relationship with the natural world. The show opens June 13 and includes 24 local photographers. I’m pleased to be taking part.

Slowly learning to tune into a more abstract way of visualising pictures has reminded me that there are so many ways of seeing, and so many layers for us to interpret.

A post on what I’ve learned about putting yourself out there.

Lessons from my first DIY photography exhibition.

Submitting work to numerous festivals and exhibitions has taught me a lot about acceptance and rejection. I’ve learned to understand rejection in a way that doesn’t allow it to undermine my concept of myself as a photographer.
