My story

Chapter 1: The Yearning (2007)

In the summer of 2007, a serendipitous encounter with a camera changed the course of my life forever. I remember the moment vividly – standing in a bustling street of Singapore, I stumbled upon a tiny photography shop tucked away in a quiet corner. It was there that I first picked up a camera, and little did I know that this single act would ignite a lifelong passion.

With my new camera in hand, I began my exploration of the world around me. Nature, travel, and photography became inseparable companions in my life. I was captivated by the breathtaking landscapes, the raw power of the rough sea, the drama of storms, and the majesty of mountains.

Chapter 2: The Call of the Wild

My deep passion for nature photography ignited a series of thrilling escapades. Whether I was exploring the lush landscapes of Cape Town, endeavouring to capture the vibrant plumage of its native birds or the tranquil cascades of its hidden waterfalls, or venturing into the remote corners of this captivating city to document the untamed beauty of its wildlife in their natural habitat, my mission remained constant: to unveil the mesmerising wonders of the natural world that surrounded me in Cape Town.

Chapter 3: Wanderlust and Wonders

Traveling became an integral part of my journey as a photographer. I yearned to experience new cultures, immerse myself in diverse landscapes, and meet people from all walks of life. I found solace on pristine beaches, challenged myself on rugged cliffs, and reveled in the stories etched into the faces of the people I encountered along the way.

Chapter 4: The Drama of Storms

The allure of storms became another focal point of my photography journey. The tempestuous dance of nature's elements was both humbling and exhilarating. I chased storms across continents, capturing lightning strikes, ominous cloud formations, and the raw energy of the elements at play.

Chapter 5: Majestic Mountains

The allure of Cape Town's majestic mountains beckoned to me like a siren's call. From the towering heights of Table Mountain to the rugged summits of the Twelve Apostles, I ventured to these natural wonders to capture their awe-inspiring beauty. Each hike brought me closer to the heavens, and every photograph I took served as a tribute to the enduring spirit of these ageless giants.

Chapter 6: Endless Horizons

Beaches, with their infinite horizons and ever-changing tides, held a special place in my heart. I was drawn to their tranquility and the stories they whispered through the lapping waves. My lens sought to freeze those moments when the sea met the land, creating timeless images of serenity.

Chapter 7: Cliffs and Culture

Rugged cliffs offered a unique canvas for my creativity. Their dramatic silhouettes against the sky were a testament to nature's artistry. As I explored their heights and depths, I also delved into the rich tapestry of cultures that often thrived alongside these natural wonders. Each photograph was an invitation to immerse oneself in the stories of the people who called these landscapes home.

Chapter 8: Celebrating Life

Through the lens of my camera, I also discovered the profound beauty of human connection and the richness of diverse cultures. People, with their unique stories and traditions, became an integral part of my photography. Capturing the essence of their lives and the vibrancy of their cultures was a tribute to the global tapestry of humanity.

In the years that followed, my journey as a photographer continued to evolve, and my passion for nature, travel, rough seas, storms, mountains, beaches, cliffs, animals, people, and culture burned brighter than ever. Each photograph I took was a tribute to the beauty and wonder of our world, and I hoped to inspire others to embark on their own journeys of discovery through the lens of a camera.
