It is hard to believe; among all this Covid-19 crisis, that the new PSL season is about to get underway! With that in mind, I had the amazing pleasure of heading down to Harry Gwala to capture some Maritzburg United players as they unveil their new kit.

Their new kit is an evolution of last years kit; which was a drastic change from what the Team of Choice have been wearing for many years. But I really enjoyed photographing with the guys, having a laugh and just having a good morning out.

Along with the new kit launch, I had the honour of photographing Maritzburg's key new signings for the coming season. It should make for a great entertaining season, and hopefully with some relaxed regulations I will have the ability to capture some entertaining football.
Here's to a great new season!

It always so amazing to photograph families sharing such love and smiles with one another; and at times, bringing families together who generally live far apart.

One of the most entertaining things to shoot particular on a Friday, is Maritzburg United taking on their various opponents at Harry Gwala in Friday Night lights. The Team of Choice are undefeated when playing at home on a Friday for longer than I can even remember!

It's Sunday, so why not make it a Sunday Fun day. One of my greatest joys of being a photographer, is photographing those fun moments that have the ability to make everyone smile. So I had a look through some of my shoots over the years, that were filled with fun, happy memories that everyone could have a laugh and smile at.

It's shout-out Saturday, and I just wanted to give a massive shout-out to all those athletes that have been affected in some shape or form by the current Covid-19 pandemic.

All major sporting events have ground to a halt during this time, forcing athletes into a tight spot as training becomes difficult to near impossible depending on your living situation. It is hard to believe that such a sporting nation like ours has managed to survive so long without any form of live sport.

But, now with easing some of the restrictions comes with some great excitement that many athletes can return to training. The next exciting step is that live games shall return. However in a controlled environment, but is great news for all the sporting super stars around the country.

It is also great news for myself, as I am mainly an adventure sports focused photographer, a lot of my work has come to a complete stand still. I am extremely excited to get behind my lens again and capture these talented athletes back in action.

​Until next time.
Stay safe.

Everyone loves food, right? Over the years I have been fortunate enough to shoot some amazing restaurants, food as well as events that have some delicious food.

Food can sometimes be challenging to shoot, as photographing people eating food can sometimes be a bit unattractive, meanwhile making the food look good and delicious is the number one priority.

Food at sporting events can can also be vital to an athletes performance, from their hydration to what they eat, it all plays a roll in the outcome of the event. None was more present than when I shot the Absa Cape Epic, food and hydration stations were packed with delicious snacks and liquids that athletes could not resist.

Everyone has their different favourites when it comes to what type of food they love, its great to see that we are all different, or life would be so boring. Food to me can be like photographing a master piece, someone went through a great amount of effort to create such master pieces for all of us to enjoy.

One of my ultimate passions in life; other than photography of course, is cars! It is something that has run through the blood lines in our family for many generations. This been said, when ever I get the opportunity to take any form of car related photos I get excited.

Being an adventure sports photographer, I do have the amazing opportunities sometimes to photograph all around the country as well as photograph some high profile international athletes.

It makes someone realise what a beautiful country we live in, each and every area is unique and beautiful in its own way. Being in lock down has made me realise how much I miss capturing those stunning moments around the country.

Sometimes, you just need to look out the box to see the true beauty in everywhere you go. Sometimes, I don't think we realise how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful world.

From the 1st of June, the government of South Africa is lowering the lock down level; to level 3. This news brings a lot of economic relief to a lot of South Africans, as they will now return to work.

"If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life."

For me however, being mainly an event based photographer, a lot of my work is still on hold as sporting events and corporate functions have all been suspended or cancelled all together.

But, during lockdown as I'm sure you are aware, I have revamped my website with some fresh new content of some of the amazing jobs I have had the honour to shoot, and just that gives me motivation!

One of the pleasures being a photographer, is bringing a new look to a client. It brings me joy, trying to match the images the client has in mind for what they have been imagining and dreaming of what the final product will look like.

A few weeks ago, I had the amazing pleasure to partner up again with Society 7 to give an amazing company; Hellochoice, a new look. We were after something simple but professional, but at the same time something different. We played with the area in and around their offices, trying our best not to venture to0 far and rather use what we had.

Athletes and myself arrived at the event to the site and sounds of rain. I don't really mind the rain, as it generally adds an extra element and drama to images, but with the rain came the mud, a lot of mud!! I guess it wouldn't be an adventure race without any.

The Team of Choice(Maritzburg United), have managed field an unbeatable team when it comes to playing on a Friday, whether it be home or away. The team have created a name for themselves, always finding away to either come out on top, or sharing the spoils with their opposition.

On last Friday's version of Friday Night Lights, it was no different! After a very intense first half; that ended goalless, it was all to play for in the second half. The visitors opened the goal count in the second half, and then shortly after doubling their lead to have a 2 0 advantage over the Team of Choice. However, the boys in blue had a never say die attitude. After converting a penalty from the spot, Maritzburg eventually found their equaliser in referees added time after the 90 minutes. The game ended 2 2 with both teams sharing the spoils.

It is always such an honour and privilege to capture the team in action. The team move on the face Kaizer Chiefs away from home in the next round.
Good luck to the team who take on Olando Pirates tonight in the ABSA Premiership clash.

Until next time.

Stadium Dash, Durban - The Night Shift

So... It's been a while!
2019 is flying by, it is scary to think we are in the final quarter of the year! However, I thought I would hit the pause button and share a stunning and unique event I had the pleasure over covering recently.
The Jump City Challenge, Stadium Dash took place recently in Durban. What makes this event so unique compared to other obstacle events, is that it managed to make use of most of Durban's top sporting stadiums!

Registration as well as the start and finish all took place within the Dome at Suncoast Casino, which made it easy for athletes to get to and from their transport when they finished their events. The Dome created such a festive atmosphere, which got everyone up on their feet, and in the mood to tackle the challenging 5km route.

Not only did the event have the opportunity to make use of some of KZN's iconic stadiums, it also had the opportunity to make use of the beautiful Durban beach front as well as the stunning city surroundings, making it a truly rememberable event for everyone who took part. The challenge also added in the additional curve ball, of finishing after the sun went down, adding additional thrill and excitement to an already awesome event.

A bit like the athletes of the Comrades, our day started before the sun came up. It was great to see such great team, as everyone played their part in order to get everything ready before the first runners arrived. The thick mist compromised visibility and light, making setting up that little bit more of a test(Myself included). with all the challenges, everything was sorted and ready to go before any runners had arrived.

From the 15-18th of May 2019, I had the amazing opportunity to be the official photographer at the Tour de Limpopo. The event room riders through some stunning roads that pass through the province of Limpopo.

The race been a UCI category 2.2 event, attracted riders and teams world wide, as everyone saw the opportunity to get their hands on some valuable UCI points, as well as prize money that went with it. This resulted in some tight unpredictable racing; that saw a different winner on each stage, as well as the leaders yellow jersey jumping onto the shoulders of 3 different riders throughout the duration of the Tour.

Each and every day, the morning starts with all athletes signing on; this is a way organisers can monitor who is still in the race and who has pulled out over night. It is a very basic process that is vital for the tour.

Stage 1 of the Tour de Limpopo, saw the riders take a 175km route from Bela Bela to Polokwane. The stage consisted of 3 sprints as well as 1 KOM hot spot. I had fun rushing between each spot, as well as stopping by the side of the road to capture the action. It was so exciting to photograph and watch how the racing unfolded through the day; from the heavily contested sprints to the drag up to the only KOM of the day. Even after such a punishing day, was great to see a small bunch sprint finish that saw defending champion Gustav Basson(TEAM TEG CONTINENTAL) take the honours.

Stage 2 saw a much quieter route from Polokwane to Tzaneen, with only 1 sprint and 1 KOM to speak of over the 96,6km route. However, even with less on the route profile, the stage include a hair raising decent about 15km from the finish. The stage ended up being a decisive day, with over night leader  Gustav Basson(TEAM TEG CONTINENTAL) taking a tumble shortly after the sprint that saw him fall out of reach of other GC hopefuls. The stage came down to another sprint finish, which saw Connor Brown(DIMENSION DATA FOR QHUBEKA CONTINENTAL TEAM) narrowly nudge the win from fellow South African Clint Hendricks(TEAM PROTOUCH CONTINENTAL).

Stage 3 was a very interesting day for me behind the camera. The stage was 103km in length with no sprints and only 1 hot spot. The stage's party piece was a brutal finishing climb, that saw the peloton completely shatter. The climb up to The Old Coach House in Tzaneen, was the thorn in many GC hopefuls plans. With over night leader Connor Brown(DIMENSION DATA FOR QHUBEKA CONTINENTAL TEAM) having been dropped earlier in the day, it was all to play for with anyone who remained. Unbelievably, the stage still came down to a sprint finish, with Samuele Battistella(DIMENSION DATA FOR QHUBEKA CONTINENTAL TEAM) muscling his way passed Kent Main(TEAM PROTOUCH CONTINENTAL) and  Eric Manizabayo(BENEDICTION CYCLING TEAM - Rwanda) to grab the stage win as well as the GC overall.

Stage 4; the final day of the tour, saw riders depart Tzaneen for Polokwane on a 116km route that followed the same route as stage 2 but in the other direction.  The stage consisted of 1 sprint and 1 KOM before finishing with some fast and furious laps around the streets of the Peter Mokaba Stadium. I had lots of fun bouncing too and from the constant breakaways and the main peloton. The stage came down to another sprint finish, with HB Kruger(TEAM ALFA BODYWORKS/GIANT) been pipped to the line by Clint Hendricks(TEAM PROTOUCH CONTINENTAL).

Over the passed few years, I have been fortunate enough to photograph the Aqulle Midmar Mile. The worlds biggest open water swim always promises some amazing memories, and there was none more memorable than the 2016 edition of the edition of the event.

The 2016 edition of the event, saw a double victory for South Africa in both the main events, with Michelle Weber and Chad Ho both crossing the finish line first.

I find open water swimming, to be one of the more challenging sports to photograph. With limited opportunity for close ups, and getting that perfect shot within a predicted split second always makes for a fun challenge.

A night to always be remembered, this is what many pupils always take from their Matric leavers dance. On Saturday afternoon, I had the amazing opportunity to capture some memories that will never be forgotten with Calista Botha and Lance Redgard at the unique 79 on Ridge venue, as they prepared for the Voortrekker High School leavers dance.

What a fun, loving couple. I had lots of fun capturing the happiness and excitement of the night. It was also great to work with such a natural couple that didn't feel any pressure from the camera.
