Jess Foord Foundation

Recently we were given the task of photographing images that would be possible canvas printings for a room that would be designed around the Jess Foord foundation. The images had to included nature only as well as a certain set of colours. The whole idea of the room was to create a calm and relaxing environment where one could feel safe and at ease. I took on this task with a partner, Jordan-lee Garbutt. Together we came up with some amazing ideas and were able to execute them to the best of out ability. I was very happy with the outcome of the task.

Here features both myself and Jordan's Images and ideas.

Trash the Dress

Jaimmie and Candice decided to have a shoot after the wedding. In the Photography world we call this a “Trash the Dress “shoot. It is a complete professional photo-shoot where the bride and groom get to have fun in their wedding attire. I always enjoy these shoots as they have a very relaxing atmosphere about them. The images always come out beautifully. By doing a “Trash the dress “shoot you are sure to have completely different and fun wedding photographs.

                                                   

                                                  

            

            

      

 

The Fire

On my way home from a wedding one Saturday i came across a house on fire. Since i had all my camera equipment with me i though i should pull over and get some shots of the firemen at work. I have such a passion for photography and what it has to offer i could not resist the temptation to shoot. It was an amazing experience. This short of photography is as far as it gets from my style of photography but it was great to be able to photograph something different. I really enjoyed the excitement of it all.

I was simply in the right place at the right time.

Maternity & Baby Shower

Atisha

I always enjoy shooting maternity photographs as it is such a special and beautiful part of life. Atisha decided to do a maternity shoot around the sun coast casino hotel on the day of her baby shower. I was able to get some stunning shots of her and her husband in and around the hotel before the baby shower. I then went on to shoot the baby shower which went very well. The shower was beautiful and i enjoyed being a part of that special day. A big thank you to Atisha and her family for their amazing hospitality.

Fashion

I am most fascinated when it comes to fashion. There is so much that one can do and it becomes overwhelming sometimes. I needed to practice my skill in fashion so i called up an old friend and arranged to do a fashion shoot in an old burnt down cotton factory. The shoot went very well. I played around with different ideas to see what worked and what did not work. I had great fun learning. I put my images through Photoshop to enhance them and this is my final product.

Durban Wedding

A city wedding can be just as beautiful as a country side wedding. I had an amazing day with Jamie and Candice on their special day. The wedding was held is a small chapel in Durban. We then all moved onto the reception where the creative shoot was done. It was a beautiful Bed and breakfast with a relaxing atmosphere. The wedding went smoothly and the day was a success. Thank you to Jamie and Candice for letting me be a part of your special day.

Ballet Photography

I think every ballet dancer can agree with me when i say, Once a Dancer, Always a Dancer. I have spent most of my life in a ballet studio and i have a huge passion for dancing. It is a life style that one will never forget. I have decided to add two of my biggest passions together. I have decided that i will become a ballet photographer; I will major in dancing photography. Dancing means a lot to me and has played a very important part in my life, it is the most amazing and beautiful sport and i hope to capture the true beauty of dancing the way i see it.

Some of my ballet work already done.
