photo - Highveld Winter

"There is nothing in this life that does not have a decisive moment"

"I believe that photographers each have their own definitive approaches and styles. .For me, Nature is the primary inspiration. In People photography I try to capture those unguarded moments that happen once the posing has subsided. Two aspects shape my photography - Light, always Light. And then also Bresson's Decisive Moment."
