I have had an interest in both photography and nature for as long as I can remember. I come from a family where photography is more a lifestyle than a hobby, and we never missed an opportunity to visit the Southern African Game Parks.

In 2006 I was able to combine my passion for photography and wildlife when I embarked on a career as a professional wildlife photographer. At first I supplemented my career with commercial photography projects, but in 2007 joined Hedrus van der Merwe from OutdoorPhoto to form a division for Camera Equipment Rentals and Safaris. My company currently hosts wildlife safaris in prime locations throughout the world, giving me the unique opportunity to spend a good amount of time in the field on location photographing what I love – wildlife
